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.
