How people cook with it
This non-dairy ice cream is perfect for enjoying on its own or as a component in various desserts.
- Scooped into bowls
- Topped on brownies
- Blended into milkshakes
- Served with cookies
Allow the non-dairy ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This makes it easier to serve and enhances its creamy texture. It can be enjoyed directly from the container as a refreshing dessert. For milkshakes, combine a few scoops with your favorite non-dairy milk and blend until smooth. It also pairs wonderfully with warm baked goods, providing a cool contrast.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional dairy ice cream, this version uses plant-based alternatives to achieve its creamy consistency. This results in a different mouthfeel and flavor profile, as the base ingredients are not derived from milk. The mint flavor is pronounced and the chocolate chips provide a contrasting texture.

How to keep the rest
Keep any remaining non-dairy ice cream tightly sealed in its original container and store it in the freezer. Ensure the lid is firmly closed to prevent freezer burn and maintain its optimal texture and flavor. Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing.
