    Gluten-Free Vegan Vanilla Bean Ice Cream | The Healthy Family and Home

    If you are looking for a plain vanilla vegan ice cream, then my Gluten-Free Vegan Vanilla Bean Ice Cream recipe is the one for you!

    You can't go wrong with a classic vanilla ice cream...there are so many toppings you can add to it like Raw Chocolate Sauce, cacao nibs, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, Vegan Caramel Sauce and on and on.

    It only takes a few minutes to make with a Vitamix and will be extra creamy if you use an ice cream maker.

    What's different about this ice cream is it doesn't solely rely on vanilla extract to give it vanilla flavor.  I added 100% pure organic vanilla bean powder, which is amazing.  It's a deep, dark brown powder with the most delicious, potent pure vanilla aroma you will ever smell - or taste!

    I like to use it, especially in raw recipes, because it doesn't have or retain the alcohol flavor that vanilla extract has.  It's usually not a problem because the alcohol evaporates when something is baked or heated, but not when in a raw recipe.  I never use vanilla extract anymore for that reason, but keep a bottle on hand just to make ice cream, because it helps with reducing the number of ice crystals that form.

    And because we're using vanilla bean powder, your vanilla ice cream will not be "pure" white like you might be used to seeing in store-bought ice creams.  Because of the dark color of the vanilla bean powder, it will have a slight "beige" color and beautiful tiny specks of pure vanilla bean powder throughout.

    This vegan ice cream is another addition to my collection of vegan ice cream recipes I've made so far over the years:

    • Gluten-Free Vegan Hazelnut "Nutella" Ice Cream with Chocolate Chip Cookie Chunks
    • Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Dark Cherry Ice Cream
    • Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream
    • Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Turtle Ice Cream
    • Vegan Vanilla Bean and Peach Ice Cream
    • Vegan Pecan Praline Ice Cream
    • Vegan Superfood Ice Cream
    • Vegan Black Forest Ice Cream
    • Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream
    • Vegan Chocolate Chip Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream
    • Cacao Nib and Mint Chocolate Ice Cream
    • Pumpkin Ice Cream and Brownie Parfait
    • Creamy Mango and Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Popsicles
    • Chocolate Fudgsicles

    I kind of like my ice cream...maybe just a little bit? 🙂

    Traditional store-bought ice cream contains dairy, white sugar and other unhealthy ingredients:

     

    S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Tillamook Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

    Ingredients:  Milk Non-Fat, Cream, Sugar, Corn Syrup Solids, Contains 2% or Less of the Following: Vanilla Beans, Flavors Natural and Artificial, Cellulose Gel, Cellulose Gum, Mono and Diglycerides, Polysorbate 80, Carrageenan
