Step-by-Step Instructions for Almond Milk Ice Cream
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine unsweetened almond milk, your choice of sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture until all ingredients are fully combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. If opting for chocolate, stir in cocoa powder now.
  2. Pour the base into a freezer-safe bowl and cover. Freeze for approximately 1 hour.
  3. After 1 hour, stir vigorously with a fork or mixer to incorporate air, then return to the freezer. Repeat stirring every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours until creamy.
  4. After about 4 hours, scoop into bowls or cones, top with your favorite add-ins, and enjoy!
