I LOVE USING COCONUT MILK & COCONUT CREAM AS A BASE FOR NON-DAIRY ICE CREAM. AGAVE LENDS A SUBTLE SWEETNESS

Tips for Success

• Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the sweetest flavor.
• Chill your ingredients before mixing to help them freeze more evenly.
• Don't skip the Re-Spin if needed—it's the secret to achieving that signature creamy Ninja Creami texture.
• Taste your peaches before adding the agave. Very sweet peaches may require less sweetener.

THE BASE IS SO SIMPLE. NO COOKING REQUIRED

Variations
Peach Ginger: Add ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger for a little zing.
Honey Peach: If you're not vegan, substitute honey for the agave.
Peach Cobbler: Fold crushed dairy-free vanilla cookies or gluten-free graham crackers into the finished ice cream using the Mix-In setting.
Peach Bourbon: Add a teaspoon of bourbon for an adult version with extra depth of flavor.

Store leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint with the lid secured. When ready to enjoy again, simply process using the Re-Spin function to restore the creamy consistency.

Can I use frozen peaches?
Yes! Allow them to thaw slightly before blending so they incorporate smoothly into the ice cream base.
Can I make this sweeter?
Absolutely. Depending on the sweetness of your peaches, you may wish to increase the agave by a tablespoon or two.
Does it taste like coconut?
The coconut flavor is mild and beautifully complements the peaches. The vanilla and cardamom help balance the tropical notes while allowing the fresh fruit to remain the star.

This Dairy-Free Peach Ice Cream proves you don't need heavy cream to create an indulgent frozen dessert. The rich coconut base delivers incredible creaminess, while juicy peaches provide bright, natural sweetness. A hint of vanilla bean paste and aromatic cardamom elevate the flavor into something that feels both comforting and sophisticated.
Whether you're serving it after a backyard barbecue, bringing it to a family gathering, or simply enjoying a bowl on a warm evening, this homemade peach ice cream is a delicious celebration of peach season—made even easier with the Ninja Creami.

Dairy Free Peach Ice Cream (Ninja Creami Method with other options*)

Ingredients

• 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
• 1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut cream
• 2-3 tablesoons agave (adjust to taste depending on the sweetness of your peaches)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
• ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
• 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled (optional) and diced

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Base
Place the coconut milk, coconut cream, agave nectar, vanilla bean paste, and cardamom into a large bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.

Step 2: Freeze
Add the peaches into the Ninja Creami container.  Pour the mixture over the peaches, being careful not to exceed the maximum fill line.  This batch actually made 1 and one half containers for me to use.
Freeze on a level surface for at least 24 hours.

Step 3: Spin
Insert the frozen pint into your Ninja Creami and process using the Ice Cream setting.
If the texture appears crumbly after the first spin, add 1–2 tablespoons of coconut milk and use the Re-Spin function. Repeat if necessary until perfectly creamy.
​
Step 4: Serve
Enjoy immediately for a soft-serve consistency, or place the finished ice cream in the freezer for 20–30 minutes if you prefer firmer scoops.

*If not using a Ninja Creami, simply pour the peaches and base into your ice cream freezer and process according to directions.
