Best 3 Oat Milk Ice Cream Recipes

OAT MILK ICE CREAM

Steps:

• *If you don't have an ice cream maker or high-speed blender, see these directions.Whisk all ingredients together. If using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture in and follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific machine. Or if you have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, pour into ice cube trays and freeze, then blend the ice cubes until smooth, using the tamper to blend evenly. Either serve straight from the machine or freeze up to an hour for a firmer texture. Because of the lack of preservatives, homemade ice cream is best the day it's made, although you can technically freeze up to a month and thaw before serving.View Nutrition Facts

OAT MILK ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine 2 1/2 cups of the oat milk with the cashew butter, coconut oil, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, bourbon (if using) and salt in a blender. Blend on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
• Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup oat milk with the tapioca starch in a medium bowl to make a slurry and set aside.
• Transfer the blended mixture to a medium pot over medium heat. Once it comes to a simmer, whisk in the slurry. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain the ice cream base through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Lightly press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the ice cream base to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 3 hours. (For faster chilling, set the bowl of ice cream base in a bowl of ice water and refrigerate.)
• Pour the chilled base into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it is the consistency of soft-serve (take care not to over-churn to prevent a grainy texture; see Cook's Note). Place the ice cream in the freezer to set up for at least 1 hour. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.

• Slowly beat the hot oatmeal into the egg mixture.
• Let the mixture cool slightly; stir in the cream.
• Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.
• Stir the chilled custard, then freeze in 1 or 2 batches in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
