This easy Almond Joy Sugar-Free Dairy-Free Ice Cream is a wonderful ice cream substitute that is full of muscle-building protein!

This Almond Joy dairy-free ice cream recipe is adapted from the Chocolate Vitamix ice cream recipe to satisfy my Almond Joy candy cravings. Almond Joys are my absolute favorite candy bars. My daughter usually shares her Almond Joys with me at Halloween because she knows how much I love them.

I am in love with this ice cream substitute and it's way more macro-friendly than a candy bar. I used my Vitamix to make this "ice cream" in less than 5 minutes. If you don't have a Vitamix or a Blendtec blender (you'll need a high-powered blender), then half the recipe for a regular blender and you'll have a rich and delicious frozen protein shake. A refreshing treat any time of year.

*Freeze your favorite non-dairy milk in ice cube trays to replace ice in your shake and blender ice cream recipes. It will give you the frozen texture you are after and won't water down your shake or ice cream like regular ice.

That looks really yummy, and I love So Delicious coconut milk! I'm definitely going to try making this with Sun Warrior raw vegan chocolate protein powder! Such a great idea!
