- 3 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

- 1 1/2 cups oat milk
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp vodka or bourbon (optional)
- 1/2 cup mix-ins of choice (toasted walnuts, chocolate chips, crushed cookies)
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard Base: Heat 1 1/2 cups oat milk in a saucepan. Whisk egg yolks in a bowl. Combine almond butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon in the saucepan. Slowly mix the warm oat milk into the egg yolks.
- Cook the Custard: Cook the mixture over medium heat until slightly thickened. Strain the mixture and stir in maple syrup and vanilla. Chill.
- Freeze the Ice Cream: Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker, adding mix-ins during the last few minutes of churning. Enjoy the creamy oat milk ice cream!
Notes
- For a classic vanilla flavor, use cashew butter instead of almond butter.
- Adding alcohol like vodka or bourbon helps keep the ice cream softer and less icy.
- To store, freeze for up to 3 months. Let ice cream sit out briefly for easier scooping.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, follow the alternative freezing method provided.
