My Vegan Superfood Ice Cream is the perfect dessert recipe if you want to take vegan ice cream to a whole new level.
This recipe transforms a traditional dessert into a powerhouse of nutrients that you will never find in a store-bought ice cream.
Vegan non-dairy ice cream is amazing and I have several delicious and tempting combinations on my website to choose from like Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Dark Cherry Ice Cream, Gluten-Free Vegan Hazelnut “Nutella” Ice Cream with Chocolate Chip Cookie Chunks or Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Turtle Ice Cream, as well a basic ones like Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream or Gluten-Free Vegan Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
But the main star of the show in this recipe is the superfood “moringa” followed with two other superfoods, baobab powder and cacao nibs.
I was introduced to it by Ana at MOREMoringa.com and have fallen in love with it.
The nutritional profile leaves me speechless.
Just imagine this…by enjoying this non-dairy, vegan ice-cream treat and adding the Moringa superfood powder, you could also get (gram for gram):
- 17 x the calcium of milk
- 25 x the iron of spinach
- 10 x the vitamin A of carrots
- 9 x the protein of yogurt
- 15 x the potassium of bananas
And the entire recipe is organic, “almost” raw (coconut milk), vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo-friendly and contains no refined sugar!

Tip #1: I used raw cacao nibs which are not sweet at all. If you’d like your ice cream a little sweeter, you can substitute with vegan, gluten-free mini chocolate chips.
