Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream: In a Jar
Vegan, dairy free ice cream made with a coconut cream base.
Equipment
- Freezer Proof Jar: at least 8 fluid ounces big
- Measuring Cup and Spoons
- Whisk (or spoon)
Ingredients
- About 5 Oreos plus a couple more for a topping- optional
- 2 Tablespoons of Cane Sugar
- 1 Cup 8oz of Coconut Cream
- Pinch of Salt
- 2 Tablespoons of Dutch Process Cocoa
Instructions
- Begin by opening your can of coconut cream and stirring it together until mixed evenly.
- Then, get a Ziplock sealable bag and add your Oreos to it. Use a rolling pin to crush the Oreos to your desired consistency. Set aside.
- Now, in a small mixing bowl, add your sugar, pinch of salt, coca powder, and crushed Oreos.
- Next, add half of your coconut cream to the jar and half of the crushed Oreo mixture to the jar. Gently mix everything together.
- And then, add the final half of the coconut cream and the crushed Oreo mixture and mix again.
- Next, screw the lid to the jar on tight and shake the jar for about five minutes to really incorporate everything together one last time.
- Once five minutes of shaking the jar is done, put the jar in the freezer for at least four hours. After at least four hours, remove the jar of chocolate Oreo ice cream and let it thaw for twenty to thirty minutes.
- Finally, add more crushed Oreo to the top, optional, or any other favorite ice cream toppings and enjoy!
Notes
If you don't want to wait twenty to thirty minutes for the ice cream to thaw, you could use a microwave. As long as your jar is microwave safe, add it to the microwave and leave it in there for intervals of about 15 seconds. Be sure to really keep an eye on it if thawing with the microwave.
Also, make sure that you layer the ingredients in the jar when making the ice cream. This will help you to mix everything together more easily.
Vegan Chocolate Oreo Ice Cream in a Jar, should stay good for up to a couple months if in an air tight container. However, I recommend eating it within a week of making it. Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to label the ice cream, that way you know when you made it.
