AIP Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe (Paleo, Dairy-free, Egg-free) (2024)

FAQs

Is vanilla ok on AIP? ›

*Vanilla bean gets a pass because the seeds are so small that they are intact when you consume them, putting vanilla bean (which is not a legume) in the same category as berries. Vanilla and vanilla extract is also okay provided its certified gluten-free (often grain alcohol is used).

Most vegan ice creams are made with coconut milk, almond milk or soy milk. All of those bases come from plants, and none include anything that comes from an animal. If, however, an ice cream is made with coconut milk but contains egg, it is dairy-free but not vegan, since it has egg.

The secret is nothing more than coconut milk. Full-fat, creamy coconut milk. Other vegan milk substitutes, like almond milk or soy milk, just don't cut it when it comes to ice cream.

Apple cider vinegar has a low sugar content and is allowed in most diets. Its ability to improve gut flora means its suitable for the AIP diet which focuses on healing the immune system and reducing gut inflammation caused by an unbalanced gut flora.

Vanillin, a primary component of vanilla bean extract, has anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antitumor properties.

baking mixes call for a liquid sweetener of choice (Maple Syrup tends to be the one we recommend!) or use Coconut, Date or Maple Sugar as a part of the dry mix. Overall, not only are these AIP-compliant, but they will have a lower glycemic index and be more nutrient dense than your refined sugar options.

French style is also called “custard” style, and additionally has eggs in the ice cream base. Philadelphia style ice cream base is not made with eggs, and so does not contain raw egg. French, or custard, style ice cream is made from a cooked custard base.

Instead of the traditional egg custard base, this recipe uses cornstarch and a few tablespoons of cream cheese to thicken the base. It's not enough that you taste the cream cheese, but just enough to give the ice cream a creamy, silky mouthfeel.

Sorbets. Sorbets are naturally lactose-free because they do not contain dairy. They're typically made from water and fruit juice or purée. Sherbets, on the other hand, will contain dairy in the form of dairy milk or cream, so be sure to inspect the label.

What vegan milk makes the best ice cream? ›

Kaminsky says that you'll get the best results from dairy-free counterparts that are higher in fat such as canned coconut milk. She typically uses almond milk as her base, but other non-dairy milks can work (steer clear of rice milk because it tends to be too watery).

Gastrointestinal damage can also cause increased sensitivity to certain ingredients and foods, triggering worsening symptoms and more damage, thus creating a vicious cycle. The AIP diet removes problematic ingredients for a period of time (or indefinitely, if necessary), giving the gut time to heal.

Examples of foods you can eat while on the AIP diet include: Vegetables that aren't nightshade vegetables like cucumbers, spinach, sweet potatoes and zucchini. Fresh fruits like apples, oranges, mangos, strawberries, bananas and blueberries.

Vanilla extract, a beloved ingredient in many culinary creations, is not only known for its rich flavor but also for its potential histamine content. While it is true that vanilla extract does contain some histamines, rest assured that the levels are generally considered to be low.

Vanilla flavoring is artificial, and is definitely not Paleo. Real vanilla extract contains antioxidants, albeit in tiny amounts. Artificial vanilla flavoring has no health benefits, and may actually be harmful.

Natural flavors aren't necessarily things that can be plucked from nature, ready for use, nor do they necessarily come from the obvious source — which is to say, natural vanilla flavor doesn't always come from vanilla beans. Natural flavors just have to be taken from a natural source, not synthesized in a lab.
