Let me tell you, I like when I can get double duty out of my kitchen tools. My favorite kitchen tool? A wooden spoon and a hand grater (that my wonderful boyfriend picked out on his own, might I add). Both do a ton of things and don’t take up a lot of space, my kind of kitchen tools!
The same applies to my kitchen appliances, blender? Use it almost everyday. Waffle maker? There are just so many kinds of waffles! Let’s be honest, there’s no other way to make waffles than with a waffle maker. Now let’s talk about this Vegan Cadbury Creme Ice Cream!
But, an ice cream maker is yet to be in my arsenal. I do like my ice cream, especially in the steamy summer months. But, I can’t justify storing a precarious machine to only use it a few times a year, a girl has limited cabinet space, you know?
So, I was on a mission to make ice cream without churning, without the salt/bag combo, and, of course, without a fancy pants machine. Guess what? It’s easy peasy lemon squeezy. Throw everything in, mix, freeze, eat straight from the pan, BAM.
I know you all have seen the homemade Cadbury egg recipes floating around, both vegan and non-vegan (which, btw, blew my mind!). While I do love a sweet little gem of a creme egg around this holiday, sometimes they are too sweet for my liking. Sometimes I just want a little touch of Easter sweet, not “oh my gosh I’m halfway through and practically in a coma” sweet. Feel free to sub in agave nectar for the powdered sugar, but be sure to cut the amount to avoid over sweetening. Also, a few swirls of yellow food coloring might add that “yolk” visual component as well. This ice cream does have a slight coconut taste, but don’t let it deter you.
Easter candy, meet your vegan cadbury creme ice cream counterpart!
Space sucking small kitchen appliances, need not apply!

These flavor combinations sound great! Special appliances are so tricky. They’re either in the way when you don’t need them or you can’t find them when you want them. Happy Easter!
The Frosted Vegan says
I agree! Happy Easter to you too, have a great weekend (eat lots!) : )
Karis says
Your ice cream looks better than mine made with an ice cream maker. What a cool way to make it!
The Frosted Vegan says
Thanks Karis! It was so nice to put it in the freezer and forget about it!: )
Annie says
This sounds brilliant and look to die for! I really hope to make this this weekend. Thanks for the recipe!
The Frosted Vegan says
Thank you for visiting! I love ice cream, but it’s hard to find an un-complicated version : )

Hi Abby, I do have one of them machines but I have never ever used it. It takes up so much space in the freezer and I am also a tad afraid of trying vegan icecream. This might just be the recipe though! Is there a difference between coconut cream and milk? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a can of cream in stores here…
The Frosted Vegan says
I agree, they do take up too much space! I think full fat coconut milk would work just as well, I did a little Googling and it appears that if you put the full fat coconut milk in the fridge until most of it becomes more creamy then that would provide a sufficient substitute. Let me know how it turns out if you try it!
Ari @ Ari's Menu says
Bowls are totally not necessary. I would eat that right out of the pan too!
The Frosted Vegan says
You better believe I did! It’s hard not to taste test!

I did a no churn ice cream a while back that was delicious–and so much easier than the conventional way. I may need to try your version.
Lindsay @ VeganYumminess says
WOW. I’m going to try this as soon as I get home. Looks AH-mazing! Thanks for sharing…quick question, though: Where do you find your coconut creme? I’m not sure I’ve seen it at all regular grocery stores, but maybe I haven’t exactly been looking for it, either.
The Frosted Vegan says
Hi Lindsay! I found mine at Trader Joe’s, but I believe full fat coconut milk would also do the triick, as long as you let it solidify in the fridge first! Let me know how it turns out 🙂
a farmer in the dell says
YUM!!! the sun is out, the temperature is finally warm and all I want is your ice cream right now!!!
The Frosted Vegan says
AMEN sister!! : )
Lindsay @ VeganYumminess says
So, I finally made this, and it was DELISH. 🙂 I didn’t have a chocolate or carob chips on hand, so I just left it out, but it was still really really good. Thanks again!
The Frosted Vegan says
Ah, I’m so excited it worked for you and you loved it as much as I did! It makes me so happy to hear when something I posted works out as well for someone else : )
