How to make vegan chocolate ice cream with brownies

For the full ingredient measurements and step-by-step instructions, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

Step 1: Chill ice cream churning bowl in the freezer

The day before making this ice cream, store the ice cream maker churning bowl inside the freezer. It needs to chill for 24 hours.

Step 2: Blend and churn

First, in a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.

Next, in a high-speed blender, add coconut milk, melted chocolate, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Blend for 2-3 minutes, until completely smooth and creamy.

Then, pour the mixture into the ice cream maker. Churn according to the ice cream maker‘s instructions. During the final 1-2 minutes, add chopped vegan brownies and coconut chocolate fudge sauce to the ice cream maker. Churn until combined.

Step 3: Chill in the freezer

After, transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container. If desired, add extra spoonfuls of the coconut chocolate sauce. Swirl the fudge throughout the ice cream. Then, add extra brownie chunks on top.

Cover and chill the ice cream in the freezer for at least 4 hours (or until firm). Alternatively, you can enjoy it straight from the ice cream maker as soft serve.

Lastly, remove ice cream from the freezer. Thaw for 5-10 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

Can I make vegan brownie ice cream without an ice cream maker?

Yes! If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can still create no churn brownie ice cream. To make it without an ice cream machine, you’ll just use a blender instead. The results will be a bit different than the original instructions though. The texture won’t be as creamy, and you’ll have to serve it as a sundae with brownies and fudge sauce as toppings.

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.
2. In a high-speed blender, add coconut milk, melted chocolate, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Blend for 2-3 minutes, until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover and chill in the freezer overnight (or until firm).
4. Remove ice cream from the freezer. Thaw for 5-10 minutes. Scoop and serve the chocolate ice cream with chopped vegan brownies and chocolate fudge sauce on top. Enjoy!
