Vegan ice cream is made from plant-based milk, which is the primary ingredient. The most common plant-based milks used to make vegan ice cream are coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, cashew milk, and rice milk. These plant-based milks contain substantial amounts of fat, which is similar to the fat content in dairy-based ice cream. Vegan ice cream also contains sugar, flavorings, and preservatives, which are similar to the ingredients in dairy-based ice cream.

If you want to make vegan ice cream at home, you can use a recipe that includes plant-based milk, sweetener, and other ingredients like vanilla bean paste or raw cashews. You can also buy commercially-produced vegan ice creams from supermarkets or natural foods stores, which come in various flavors and forms like pint-sized containers, ice cream sandwiches, cones, and fudge bars.
