Ninja Creami Peach Crisp Ice Cream (Vegan, Gluten Free)

Fresh peaches meet a creamy dairy free base and crunchy gluten free crisp topping for THE ice cream of late summer. This Ninja Creami Peach Ice Cream is everything you love about August in ice cream form.

Here in Colorado we have some of the best peaches and I pretty much spend all of August (prime peach season!) developing peach-based recipes. I have to get my fill before the summer is over. If you've been around for a while, you know I love a crumble, so I had to bring it into my ice cream recipes too. This creamy vegan peach ice cream is mixed with gluten free granola for the perfect peach crisp ice cream recipe on hot summer days.

Now, if you don't have a Ninja Creami ice cream machine, you are missing out. Let me tell you, it's worth every. single. penny. I use it almost daily and it is the best appliance to have in the summer for easy, healthy homemade ice cream whenever you want!

I have tons of delicious peach recipes on my site so if you want to go all out with the peach flavor serve this peach ice cream alongside my Gluten Free Peach Pie, Gluten Free Ginger-Peach Galette, Gluten Free Peach Cookies, or Paleo Strawberry and Peach Crumble.

Healthy Ice Cream

This dairy free peach ice cream is gluten free, vegan, refined sugar free and can be made nut free and high protein. It's made with simple ingredients for a healthy and delicious ice cream!

Store bought ice cream is loaded with sugar, and refined white sugar at that. My homemade peach ice cream recipe uses a fraction of the sugar and relies on the natural sweetness of in-season peaches.

You can also add a scoop of protein to this Ninja Creami ice cream to amp up the nutritional profile and make ice cream you can truly feel good about. Most Ninja Creami recipes call for instant pudding mix which is loaded with gut disruptive ingredients. I love adding the Sprout Living Pea Protein because it's flavorless with no weird ingredients, results in a creamier ice cream, and helps me reach my protein goals in a delicious way.

Sorbet or Ice Cream?

This vegan peach ice cream is not a sorbet as it contains (dairy free) milk. You end up with a thick and creamy peach ice cream vs a peach sorbet. If you're looking for a healthy sorbet recipe, try my 2-Ingredient Watermelon Sorbet (you could sub peaches for the watermelon!).

Ingredients for Vegan Ninja Creami Peach Ice Cream and Substitutions

• Peaches: you'll need a couple fresh, ripe peaches for this ice cream recipe. Make sure they are sweet and juicy for the best flavor!
• Full fat coconut milk: be sure it is the canned, full fat coconut milk for the best texture. If you are coconut free, you can also use whole milk or a very rich, full fat nut milk like cashew milk.
• Maple syrup: be sure to use pure maple syrup and not pancake syrup. You can also use coconut sugar or agave.
• Gluten free granola: use your favorite plain granola. I love the Purely Elizabeth brand for a healthier gluten free option. Keep this recipe Celiac or gluten allergy safe by using a certified gluten free granola or opt for a Paleo granola. You can leave this out if you just want the peach ice cream, but the smooth and crunchy combo is the best part in my opinion!
• Vanilla extract, salt
• Protein powder (optional): I always add a scoop of Sprout Living Pea Protein since it helps with the texture and gives us a protein boost without any weird flavorings, gums, sugars, or additives. Use code LEMONSNLYME20 for 20% off your order.

How to Make Ninja Creami Peach Crisp Ice Cream

• Whisk or blend all of the ingredients together, except the peaches and granola, until smooth.
• Add the peaches to a Ninja Creami pint container then pour in the milk mixture to the max fill line and add the storage lid on top. Place pint on a level surface in the freeze for 12-24 hours.

• Before spinning, microwave the ice cream mixture for 30 seconds or run the outside under hot water for a minute.
• Add the pint to the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami container then place bowl assembly into the Ninja Creami machine.
• Spin on the lite ice cream setting. Add the mix-ins and spin on the mix-in setting.
• Serve final product with extra granola on top.

How to Store Leftover Ninja Creami Peach Ice Cream

If you don't finish the pint, smooth over the top and re-freeze any leftovers. You can re-spin the ice cream when ready to eat the rest, following the same directions as above. Please note that the granola will become blended into the ice cream, so you may want to add more as a mix-in when re-spinning.

Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler Ice Cream:

• Heat the base before spinning. I always suggest microwaving the frozen ice cream base for 30 seconds or running the outside under hot water for a minute or two to soften the ice cream base some for best results. This helps with ice crystals and the number of times you have to re-spin for a creamy texture.
• Don't overspin! It can be tempting to keep re-spinning your ice cream base, but since we're adding mix-ins you don't need to use the re-spin function before adding them. 
• Love this recipe? Prep multiple pint containers at once so you always have the perfect sweet treat. Or if you have lots of fresh peaches that you don't want to go to waste, prep a few pints to last through the fall when peaches are no longer in season. Just keep them frozen and spin when the craving strikes.
