If you like sunflower seed butter, try this sugar free dairy free ice cream recipe. Healthy full fat coconut milk makes it creamy. Low carb and nut free!
Have you tried making dairy free ice cream with coconut milk? I’ve heard great things about it so I wanted to give it a try in my new ice cream maker.
I also see folks are using sunflower seed butter as a replacement for peanut butter. Personally, I don’t think sunflower seed butter tastes much like my beloved peanut butter.
Sunflower butter has a unique taste of it’s own. Nonetheless, I figured I’d give it a try. This sunbutter sugar free dairy free ice cream recipe is somewhat of a mock peanut butter ice cream that is both dairy and nut free.
I have to admit, this dairy free sunbutter ice cream took me by surprise. The full fat coconut milk was very close to regular dairy ice cream that I’ve made.
I didn’t use any stabilizers so it did need to thaw a bit on the counter before scooping, but I’m used to that with my homemade ice cream. The scoops came out nicely formed once it became scoopable and it was pretty creamy considering there isn’t any dairy cream in it.
Although I do like sunflower seed butter, I prefer the flavor of peanut butter over it and will likely use peanut butter next time. However, if I had a nut allergy, I’d be all over the sunbutter since peanuts would be off limits.

Looks delicious! I only have English Toffee flavor liquid stevia—would that work? Or could I just use additional sweetene? I was thinking of using maple syrup or honey.
I’ll cross-reference other recipes and fit in what works.
Love sunbutter so this should be extra yummy. Thanks!
Lisa says
The toffee stevia should be fine with this flavor. It may even enhance the flavor!
Alyssa @ Simply Quinoa says
I absolutely LOVE making homemade ice cream from coconut milk. It’s surprisingly simple and so decadent. And I’m seriously loving that you’re using sunbutter!!
Patricia @ Grab a Plate says
Sounds really great! I still need to try making ice cream w/ coconut milk, if you can believe it! Thanks for the tasty reminder 🙂
Lisa says
I can’t believe it took me this long to try it, especially since I love coconuts.
Alisa @ Go Dairy Free says
PB ice cream w/ coconut milk is actually one of my favorites! I agree that sunbutter isn’t quite like pb, but it does have hints. And for the peanut allergic – it works!
Lisa says
I can’t wait to try this again with peanut butter.
Sara says
This looks great, I have a child with a peanut allergy so this is perfect for her! Thanks for sharing
Lisa says
This is a healthy treat for those with allergies. Honey is a great sweetener to use for kids.
Monique @ Ambitious Kitchen says
I love sunflower seed butter and all things coconut so I bet this would be a fantastic treat! Also love that it can be healthy.
Lisa says
The only thing missing is chocolate, so I may add a few chocolate chips next time.
Christie says
This ice cream sounds amazing. Coconut is always my favorite flavor any way. I cannot wait to give this one a try.
Lisa says
Coconut is one of my favorites as well.
