    Dairy-Free Carrot Cake Ice Cream infused with “Cream Cheese” Frosting

    By Alisa Fleming on June 22, 2022 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Sarah's Recipes

    Many years ago, we held a dairy-free ice cream recipe contest using Go Veggie Vegan Cream Cheese Alternative. It brought in a great selection of frozen desserts, but the winner was this dairy-free carrot cake ice cream recipe by Sarah Hatfield. I haven’t made any changes to it – it’s perfect as is – but have since updated this post!

    How good is this recipe? After she won the contest, I asked Sarah to come work with Go Dairy Free! I think that speaks for itself. Here’s how she ended up creating this wonderful treat.

    I came up with the carrot cake recipe idea on a vacation with my extended family. We were all sitting around talking and I was explaining the contest details – that I had to incorporate dairy-free cream cheese alternative as an ingredient. My sister suggested I try creating a dairy-free carrot cake ice cream. She said what goes better with cream cheese than carrot cake. As soon as I returned home, I started working on the recipe. It took a few tests to get it perfect, but everyone was happy with the results.

    Fortunately, I was already familiar with Go Vegan Dairy-Free Cream Cheese, as we have enjoyed it in a variety of recipes – from savory to sweet. It’s sometimes challenging for us to find products that everyone in our family can enjoy because some of us can eat dairy and some of us can’t. When I find a product that tastes great and everyone enjoys, like this one, it’s a win-win.

    Our family’s favorite savory dish using the dairy-free cream cheese is a Veggie Pizza with a layer of the cream cheese then topped with veggies. It’s absolutely delicious! For sweet, this dairy-free carrot cake ice cream is obviously a new favorite.

      carrot juice? I was looking for a recipe to use up all the carrots that I picked from my garden. I found this recipe and it looks great! Instead of juice could I use strained puree of fresh carrots? Do you have any other suggestions on how to make this recipe with fresh carrots?

        I think carrot puree would be fine, especially if you don’t strain it first so it more closely resembles the consistency of carrot juice. Hope it works!
