The easiest, creamiest, decadent and healthy dessert recipe you can make! This 4-Ingredient No-Churn Vegan Tahini Chocolate Ice Cream is gluten-free, paleo, top 8 allergy-free, and sugar-free! No dairy, no fuss, and no fancy ice cream makers for this frozen delight!
Our ice cream dreams are realized! Tahini, chocolate, in ice cream form? Yes, yes please! When I say ice cream, I’m not talking the quick, throw it in a blender for a soft serve effect kind of “ice cream”, I’m talking scoopable from the freezer kind of ice cream! Yes, that one appliance (or attachment) I do not have is an ice cream maker. BUT, I know I’m not alone and if you don’t have one either, your life is about to get a whole lot cooooler!
MY LATEST VIDEOSYes! The easy no-churn ice cream method we all love (and haven’t done until now, if you’re like me). Just mix up your ingredients in a stand mixer or blender, pour into a pan, and freeze for a few hours or overnight. Super easy, no-fuss, simple, and everyone can do it! That means it’s super customizable too! I kept this one straight forward with just coconut milk, tahini, cocoa powder, and sweetener. That tahini chocolate combo is one of the best! But you can go crazy with add-ins like mini chocolate chips, sesame seeds, gluten-free cookie crumbles, espresso powder, etc.
Now, I do have fond memories of making real, hand-churned ice cream in an old-fashioned wooden ice cream churn. The big things with the hand cranks that you fill with ice, salt, cream, and sugar. Whenever we went over to my parent’s friends house up in the woods for summer parties and such, they would take out the big ice cream churn and all of the kids would get so excited! We each had to take a turn using the hand crank (super tough for little hands!), but the results were this super fresh milky vanilla ice cream that beat anything you could ever buy.
I was probably like 4 or 5, these are vague memories, but that ice cream still made an impact! But you know what else is making an impact? THIS super easy, not-hand-cranked vegan tahini chocolate ice cream! Yes, the hand cranking does add all the magic and “special taste”, but throwing coconut milk, tahini, cocoa powder, and sweetener into my stand mixer, then pouring the mixture into a loaf pan to freeze gets the job done too (but lacks in the nostalgia!) We can’t win them all, can we? At least this one is dairy-free!
4-Ingredient No-Churn Vegan Tahini Chocolate Ice Cream
- 2 (15oz) Cans of Full Fat Unsweetened Coconut Milk
- ½ Cup Erythritol (or preferred granulated sweetener)

- Freeze the ice cream until solid (5-8 hours) or overnight.
Are you dreamy of tahini chocolate ice cream heaven yet? Top it with all your favorites: whipped cream (so many great new allergy-friendly options!), chocolate chips, sesame seeds, chocolate syrup, sprinkles (of course!), or just grab a spoon and devour (the tahini chocolate flavor is amazing on its own!) Summer can’t be summer without at least ONE batch of homemade ice cream, right?
So tell me:
+ Did you ever hand churn/crank legit real ice cream? Bucket list item, if you haven’t!

It looks so delicious, I would love to grab a spoon from the screen. And the best part – it is dairy free.
Can we use dates as the sweetener, would that change the texture?
Yes. It says preferred GRANULATED sweetener. You can use granulated date sugar, I presume.
We made hand churned ice cream when I was a kid too, so much fun! But this sounds amazing.
The nostalgia!
That looks decadent! I will put this on the “to make soon” list!
Glad to hear it!
Wow only 4 ingredients and you get that! It looks so yum – even I could attempt that and get it right (hopefully lol)
Pretty simple, but delicious!
This looks so tasty and easy enough to make.
So easy to make!
OMG YUM! this looks amazing
Thank you!!
Oh this looks fabulous! My 4yo was just asking if we could make ice cream! He loves chocolate!
A weekend project for sure!
This looks crazy good! I’m allergic to carrageenan which is sadly in a lot of ice cream, so I’m always looking for amazing alternatives like this.
An additive that shouldn’t be in any food 😉
I love no-churn ice cream recipes. The chocolate and tahini combination sounds delicious!
One of my fav flavor combos!
Oh wow, this looks amazing! I have such a weakness for chocolate ice cream and this is am much healthier option :-).
You know all the ingredients going in there!
I haven’t tried making this one ever! I have small hands so I understand when you said it’s hard to use the hand crank. 😀
Time to make your own ice cream!
Thank you for not making us use old, frozen bananas!
Haha, right?! That “nice cream” stuff is NOT ice cream! Gross!
Oooo this looks good! I’m don’t have a vegan lifestyle but am a fan of it, and prefer the vegan or vegetarian options if I’m offered it, my dream is to one day be a vegetarian all the way. I did used to live in a vegan collective as well, and didn’t think that the vegan ice cream I bought was as good as Ben & Jerrys – but now they have a vegan one that I’m dying to try. Your ice cream looks tasty too and would love to try and make it! Just need to buy some kitchen items first, like I don’t even have a kitchen knife :/
Is this a spam comment?
No I’m sorry, I feel like everytime I leave a comment here it’s misunderstood. I just took the liberty to share some of mye vegan experience as well, and apparently did the mistake of trying to be funny as well. Culture clash?
My kids and I love chocolate ice cream! I’ll be absolutely trying to make this one weekend!
Chocolate over vanilla any day!
Once again an incredible recipe!!
Haha, thank you!
This looks amazing and so much fun to make! Can’t wait to try it out myself.
Quick and easy…so delicious!
