Vegan Spinach Kiwi Ice Cream Recipe Ingredients

Fresh spinach leaves – Use bright green colour, fresh, and soft spinach leaves for this recipe. They also give a nice green colour without the use of any chemicals.

Kiwi – Choose overripe kiwi, they are sweeter in taste and gives a nice flavour to the ice cream.

Icing sugar – It is a very fine sugar that easily blend with the ice cream mixture, provides a smooth texture. If icing sugar is not handy grind regular sugar into a very fine powder by adding 1 tsp cornflour in it.

Coconut Milk – I have used dry coconut milk powder and mix it with water to make the coconut milk but fresh coconut milk is also be used.

Non- dairy whipped cream – As we are making this ice cream dairy-free and vegan so non-dairy whipping cream is used. But you can use regular fresh cream or heavy whipping cream if not want a dairy-free version.

*Note – I have used non dairy whipping cream that is already sweetened. That’s why i used very less amount of sugar. But if you use fresh cream or full fat dairy cream increase the sugar quantity according to your taste.
