Hazelnut Ice Cream (dairy free, refined sugar free, paleo)

Jump to Recipe

the best dairy free hazel nut milk ice cream ever/ paleo | savorylotus.com

Do you miss delicious, creamy ice cream?  Well, I have got just the thing for you.   Dairy and me are not friends, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy decadent ice cream when I want to.  Here’s an awesome dairy free Hazelnut Milk Ice Cream recipe that will make you very happy!

I have been dairy free for quite some time now.  I have learned to live without it and have found many wonderful substitutions that satisfy my need for creamy goodness when I crave it.  My favorite non-dairy creamer is Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk.  My favorite dessert is Lemon Panna Cotta.  And my Blueberry Ice Cream is my go-to cold treat.

But recently my sweet love also went dairy free.  He is working with our functional medicine doctor to clear up some chronic congestion that he has.  So no eggs or dairy for 60 days. Being a self-proclaimed ice cream addict, this was going to be hard.

Enter dairy free hazel nut milk ice cream.  Creamy. Decadent. And absolutely freaking uh-may-zing!  Trust me!

This ice cream is easy to make.  You will spend the longest time waiting for the hazelnuts to soak.  Just do it overnight and make the mixture in the morning.  I sweetened it with dates, so no refined sugars.  I like to add a titch of grass fed gelatin to my ice creams for added texture and creaminess.  This is totally optional, but I really like the end result.   You will need an ice cream maker.  THIS is the one I use, and it’s the best!

Hope you love it!

xo,

Katja

    Could I replace the gelatin with Xanthan Gum and get the same results?

      I have never tried that. You can just leave out the gelatin. 🙂

    Hi, I do not have an ice cream machine, would this work if I freeze the mixture after blending it, then process a portion in the food processor? Thanks !

      I haven’t tried doing that. You could definitely try it. Not sure it will be quite the same texture though. I would love to hear if you try it. 🙂

    I am new to your site.
    I wanted to ask about the hazelnuts. Raw, toasted, skins???? Soak at room temperature or in fridge?

      You can use either raw or toasted hazelnuts. I just use raw. I do not remove the skins. And I soak them on the counter overnight. Hope that helps. 🙂

    I have made this twice now. I didn’t use gelatin the first time and tried agar agar the second time, I have an ice-cream churner but it didn’t thicken up either time. I gave up and froze the mixture unthickened. What am I doing wrong? The taste is excellent, I just wanted that churned effect.

how do you start your day? 💪🏃‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️☕️

mindset mindset mindset 🧠🧠• having a morning routine allows us to set an intention for the day rather then just letting the day run away from us • it helps determine our mind set and the tone for the rest of the day ✨✨

things like meditation, journaling, yoga, exercise, and other self-care practices can help us start the day feeling calm and inspired 🧘🏻 • consciously selecting the thoughts we have, the foods we eat , and the news/social media/images we see matters • a solid morning routine can reduce stress, boost energy, increase mental clarity, and leave us feeling 🤩

creating a morning routine looks different for us all • routine comes easier for some than others • we all have different priorities, time limits, physical needs/abilities, and health concerns there • are no rules • find what works for you 

i know that i feel better when i stick to my morning routine • i know that i feel better when i don’t engage with my phone or social media the first hour or two after waking up • i know i feel better when i consciously select what i bring into my head space first thing in the morning, including the thoughts that i have 

my morning routine currently looks like this:  10 minutes of quiet meditation, some form of elimination pathways opening like Gua Sha, coffee e nema, an epsom salts bath, or a sauna, yoga/workout, and a big green juice 🥬🥒🍏
