How to Make Vegan Ice Cream Without a Machine

As most people do not own an ice cream machine, this DIY version of vegan ice cream is both resourceful and fail-proof. You probably know the trick of making conventional ice cream in plastic bags using salt and ice. However, that method makes for cold hands and dairy-free substitutes turn out icy rather than creamy.

3 ingredients are all you need for this basic vanilla recipe. As an added bonus, it’s also low-glycemic thanks to coconut nectar in lieu of cane sugar.
