Homemade ice cream has never been easier! This No-Churn Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream requires a blender, a freezer-safe container, and patience.
It's as simple as blending the base ingredients together, making a simple strawberry jam, and breaking up some pre-made cookies. We'll be swirling these ingredients together and then all we gotta do is wait! Waiting is definitely the hardest part.
While testing this recipe, my number 1 concern was to make sure it wasn't icy! By using high-fat ingredients like coconut cream and the cashew nut base from Joi, I was able to create that creamy ice cream I was dreaming about. I know you're going absolutely love this No-Churn Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream.
So, what is JOI?
NOTE: This product was gifted to me. I would never share anything with you if I didn't 100 percent believe that the product was worth it. I truly believe this is a wonderful product from a wonderful company that I will continue to support with my own dollar.
Joi is a nut base that is made up of 1 ingredient! You simply blend this 1 ingredient nut base with water and you have plant based milk in a matter of 30 seconds! After reading about this product, I was so excited to see what I could make with it besides just plant milk. I found out you can add this to soups, sauces, baked goods, and.... ICE CREAM!
So, why should you use Joi instead of using store-bought plant milk?
This product along with some coconut cream is what is going to make our ice cream as creamy and delicious as store-bought. You have total control over the creaminess. If you were to make plant milk with Joi you'd be using 1-2 tbsps of Joi with 1 cup of water. For ice cream, we don't want that much water or we will end up with flavored ice. We will be using equal parts joi to water to create that creamy texture. I also want to note how much better for our environment this is. A 15oz container of Joi makes 27 cups of milk compared to a carton at the store which contains only 8 cups! The container is also 100% recyclable.

Main Ingredients:

Substitutions:
This recipe was tested multiple times and I do not recommend substituting anything. Any changes could result in icy ice cream and we don't want that! The below measurements and ingredients will result in a creamy and delicious vegan ice cream. That being said, the Joi cashew base can be substituted with my Cashew Butter recipe.
Vegan Ice Cream Recipe with Ice Cream Maker
Be patient. It takes a lot of time to make no-churn ice cream because you have to allow the ice cream to freeze for two hours, mix in the strawberry jam and cookies, then freeze again for a minimum of 6 hours. It's all worth it though!!
