Chocolaty Chocolate Dairy Free Ice Cream

Well, it's been a while, hasn't it? Did you miss me? I sure missed you. Lots going on in the Loverbee household this summer - new job, big move, diet overhaul, homeschool overhaul. More on these fabulous resets at a later date. But before our busy summer ends, I want to share one more ice scream recipe with y'all. This creamy treat is dairy free, intensely chocolaty, and a big favorite in our house.

Our favorite Chocolaty Chocolate Dairy Free Ice Cream!

We make this Chocolaty Chocolate Dairy Free Ice Cream all summer long - all year long, really.

Earl Grey Ice Cream with Lemon Curd Swirl

Anybody else sad about the weather getting warmer? Only me? I know, I know, most people love it. Summer fun in the sun and all that jazz. As for me, I've been busy pretending it's not really happening and enjoying one of my favorite cold weather drinks in ice cream form - Earl Grey Ice Cream with Lemon Curd Swirl.

Tea anyone? Earl Grey Ice Cream with Lemon Curd Swirl, that is.

This creamy tea infused frozen treat is swirled with a touch of sweet and tangy lemon curd. Perfect for any summer tea party or for that tea lover in your life.

Loaded Coffee Ice Cream

If you don't have an ice cream maker yet, get one! I know, how bossy of me. Trust me on this one, though. You're not gonna regret it. See my Amazon pick below for the simple and affordable machine I use. Plus, this ice cream is worth every cent. You'll be glad you invested.

Chunks of sugar cone and swirls of hot fudge and caramel send this Loaded Coffee Ice Cream over the top.

This Loaded Coffee Ice Cream is Matthew's all time favorite. Loaded with sugar cone pieces this simple, but lovely, coffee flavored ice cream is a real winner. Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention the swirls of hot fudge and caramel. Silly me. This ice cream is a coffee lovers dream! Think jamoca almond fudge - but better!

Caramel Chai Ice Cream

Last summer I was obsessed with popsicles. (You may have noticed. Hee, hee.) The summer before that I was all about homemade ice cream. I thought I'd share some of our family's favorite creations with y'all since summertime is just around the corner. First on the docket is this fabulous Caramel Chai Ice Cream.

Ribbons of caramel get swirled into this perfectly chai spiced easy ice cream. You're gonna love it! If you have yet to purchase an ice cream maker, I highly recommend it. Making homemade ice cream is so fun and so yummy. I have a simple inexpensive machine. See my Amazon picks below to see the one I own. It does a bang up job!!

Birthday Cake Ice Cream Sandwiches

Cake and ice cream. What's a birthday without cake and ice cream, right? Okay, okay. Some of us could totally do without the ice cream. Others of us could replace the whole shebang with a big ol' fat pie. But I digress.

Birthday Cake Ice Cream Sandwiches take cake and ice cream to a whole new level!

These Birthday Cake Ice Cream Sandwiches are the whole package. The flavor of vanilla cake speckled with sprinkles, beautifully swirly ice cream sandwiched in the middle, and no utensils or plates required. They're also wonderfully fun and spectacularly celebratory. Oh, and they're super easy to make. That's a win, win, and triple win in my book!

Easy Maple Ice Cream for Pie

Life is full of pie over here at the Loverbee house. Pie, pie, a whole lotta pie. What can I say? It's pie season! Most of our clan are pie and ice cream folk. Me? I can take it or leave it - the ice cream, that is. But if there's maple ice cream in the house, you better believe it's going on my pie.

Take pie à la mode to a whole new level with this Easy Maple Ice Cream.

This homemade Maple Ice Cream takes pie à la mode to a whole new level - and it's so easy to make. It's rich, it's creamy, and that maple flavor will send you over the moon for pie and ice cream. It goes just perfectly with any fruit pie, crisp, or cobbler. Move over boring vanilla. You've been topped.

I prefer the flavor of maple flavored syrup over pure maple syrup in this ice cream. But that's just me. It gives the ice cream more of that maple bar flavor that I'm totally addicted to. Pure maple syrup is also delicious and what Matthew prefers. You can give both versions a try and decide for yourself.

Are you ready to see just how easy this is? Okay, pour all of the ingredients into a quart size jar, screw on the lid nice and tight, and shake till the ingredients are all blended together. So easy! If your ingredients are already super cold, you can pour your mixture straight into your ice cream maker.




I like to put my ice cream container in the freezer while my ice cream churns. Then, I spread it in, cover with foil, and freeze for 4 hours or so.

Step aside boring ol' vanilla. Easy Maple Ice Cream is in da house!

When you're ready to scoop, take the ice cream out and let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes to soften up a bit.
