    • Graham- Adds great texture and flavor!

    Ingredient Notes

    Expert Baking Tips

    Make the Honey Drizzle First

    Make this first so that it can cool.

    It needs to cool for at least 15 minutes prior to adding it to the ice cream. 

    If it has solidified too much before adding it to the ice cream, just pop it in the microwave in a heat safe bowl and heat in 10 second increments until easy enough to drizzle.

    Let the Ice Cream Freeze Overnight

    No churn ice cream is simple to make but very soft.

    It really does need to freeze overnight otherwise it will be a soupy mess within a minute of taking it out of the freezer.

    Step by Step Instructions

    Here are the steps to make this ice cream! 

    Step 1: Make the Honey Drizzle

    In a small saucepan set over medium heat, whisk the butter and honey constantly, until they are both combined.

    Once incorporated, remove from the heat and let it cool for about 15 minutes while you make the ice cream.

    Step 2: Break the Grahams

    Break your gluten free Graham Crackers into chunks using your hands. You want large chunks, not tiny crumbs. Set aside.

    Step 3: Whisk the Sweetened Condensed Milk, Vanilla and Salt

    In a large bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and salt until combined.

    Step 4: Whip the Heavy Cream 

    In a separate large bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. You can also do this with a whisk. 

    Step 5: Add in the Condensed Milk Mixture 

    Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk mixture and whisk until stiff peaks form. Make sure not to over whisk. Stop as soon as you get a stiff peak.

    Step 6: Layer the Grahams and Honey

    Using the spatula, scoop ⅓ of the ice cream mixture into a 9 x 5 loaf pan or a freezer safe ice cream container and smooth the top using the back of a spoon. 

    Sprinkle ⅓ of the brown grahams on top.

    Drizzle about ⅓ of the honey mixture on top.

    Take a butter knife and swirl it all together. Repeat this pattern 2 additional times (3 times total) to fill the loaf pan.

    If the honey butter mixture starts to solidify too much, pop it in the microwave in a heat safe bowl and heat in 10 second increments until easy enough to drizzle.

    Step 7: Freeze

    If using a loaf pan, cover the ice cream with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. You can also use a rectangular freezer safe airtight container. Freeze overnight.

    How to Make this Vegan

    A lot of you have been asking how to make my ice cream vegan.

    Here is the issue. Most vegan alternatives for making ice cream contain coconut and my son cannot have it. 

    Some contain legumes and he can’t have those either; therefore I am unable to have these products in my home to test for you guys.

    Please keep in mind that I cannot test this out at my home due to my son’s allergies, so I can’t promise it will work and it will change the flavor since coconut has a unique taste.

    But…these are my ideas for those of you who have been asking. Hope it helps.

    Vegan Products to Try

    Ideally, you should be able to swap out the heavy cream with a vegan heavy whipping cream. 

    This is not sponsored but the brand silk makes one. 

    It says it’s gluten free but I don’t see a certified label, so I would look into that if you have celiac.

    As for allergens, it does contain coconut, sunflower and faba bean protein. 

    As for the sweetened condensed milk, use sweetened condensed coconut milk.

    A bunch of different brands make sweetened condensed coconut milk. Just make sure whatever you choose is gluten free if you’re gf.

    How to Ensure the Ice Cream is Vegan

    • Use a dairy free heavy whipping cream.
    • Only use sweetened condensed coconut milk.
    • Use a vegan baking stick instead of butter.
    • Make sure your gluten free grahams are also vegan.

    Recipe FAQs

    Do I have to freeze this overnight?


    Yes. It needs about 6-7 hours to freeze.

    No churn ice cream is super soft and needs a long time to solidify. 

    If you don’t freeze it overnight, it will be a soupy mess within minutes of being on your counter.

    How much ice cream does this recipe make?


    This recipe makes about 1.5 quarts or 6 cups of ice cream. 

    Can I use flavored honey or local honey?


    You can use whatever honey you desire. Just be aware that sometimes there can be cross contamination of nuts in honey due to the pollen. 

    Make sure to talk to your doctor before consuming if you have peanut and tree nut allergies.

    Storing and Freezing 

    Storing 

    Store the Graham Ice Cream in a 9x 5 loaf pan or in an freezer safe airtight rectangular shaped ice cream container. 

    If using a loaf pan, cover the top with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. 

    Freezing

    The ice cream can be frozen for up to two weeks.

    Hi guys, I'm Lee! As a mother of two children with celiac disease and multiple food allergies, I wanted to share all that I’ve learned with others in a way that’s entertaining and helpful. All my food is 100 percent gluten free, nut free, seed free, egg free and most of my baked goods can easily be made dairy free (vegan).
