Make your own vegan ice cream: how to conjure up creamy nice creams
When the temperatures rise, there is hardly anything more tempting than a creamy, ice-cold dessert. However, many conventional ice cream flavours contain animal ingredients such as cream, milk or egg. At Keimling Naturkost, we show you that there is another way - and it's even better!
With natural ingredients, no refined sugar, but full of flavour and nutrients. In this article, you'll find our favourite vegan ice cream recipe and lots of creative ideas for enjoying plant-based ice cream from your own kitchen.

Why vegan ice cream?

Vegan ice cream is in no way inferior in flavour to the classic version - on the contrary! Here are a few reasons why you should definitely give it a try:

• Plant-based and cruelty-free: For conscious enjoyment without compromise.
• Naturally sweet: Sweetened with dates, banana, maple syrup or coconut blossom sugar.
• Lactose-free: Ideal for intolerances.
• Creamy without cream: Thanks to ingredients such as coconut milk, cashews or avocado.
