Peach crisp ice cream (vegan, grain free)
I never realized how much a good crumble adds to ice cream—picture the topping of a cobbler swirled into a creamy, peachy blend. This Peach crisp Ice Cream combines the sweet and juicy flavor of peaches with the perfect crunch of a crisp topping. The best part? It’s completely vegan and gluten/grain-free!
This recipe is perfect for those hot summer days when you’re craving something sweet and refreshing but still want to keep it healthy. The frozen peaches create a naturally sweet and fruity base that pairs perfectly with the rich creaminess of coconut milk or dairy-free yogurt.
Maple syrup adds a touch of natural sweetness without overpowering the delicate peach flavor. The real star of the show, however, is the crumble topping. Made with almond flour, tapioca starch, cinnamon, and coconut sugar, the crumble provides a delightful contrast in texture.
Toasting the crumble enhances its nutty flavor and adds an irresistible crunch that will have you reaching for another scoop. This ice cream is not only delicious but also a treat you can feel good about indulging in.
Ingredients
For the Ice Cream:
• Frozen Peaches): Frozen peaches provide a naturally sweet and juicy base for the ice cream. They’re packed with vitamins and minerals, making them a healthy choice.
• Canned Coconut Milk or Dairy-Free Yogurt : This adds a creamy texture to the ice cream. Coconut milk is rich and smooth, while dairy-free yogurt adds a slight tanginess.
• Maple Syrup): A natural sweetener that blends perfectly with the peaches, adding a subtle caramel flavor.
For the Crumble:
• Almond Flour : A gluten-free alternative to regular flour, almond flour gives the crumble a nutty flavor and a tender texture.
• Tapioca Starch :Helps to bind the crumble ingredients together, giving it a nice crunch.
• Cinnamon : Adds warmth and spice, enhancing the flavor of the peaches.
• Coconut Sugar :: A natural sweetener with a rich, caramel-like flavor. It’s a great alternative to refined sugar.
• Softened Coconut Oil : Helps to create the perfect crumbly texture. Coconut oil is also a healthier fat option.
