The sun is out, we need something to cool us down and sweeten our palette. Our Chestnut Vegan Ice Cream recipe is the best way to do it.
We’d like to say this recipe is healthy and great for losing those lockdown pounds, but it’s not.
However, it does contain healthy fats and less sugar than you would find in shop-bought ice cream!
It’s also dairy-free, but don’t worry, no creaminess was harmed in the making of this vegan ice cream.
Chestnut Based Ice Cream
Chestnuts in the UK are generally a seasonal thing, which we think is a huge injustice.
This gluten-free, vegan-friendly, tasty little treat adds richness to this ice cream and goes beautifully with the rum and the coconut. You could also sprinkle marron glace chestnuts on top as a real sugar hit.
Vegan-friendly Ingredient
The great thing about this ice (coconut)cream recipe is that it’s vegan-friendly, gluten-free and only tested on the taste buds of Brusco staff.
It has all the creaminess and indulgence of non-vegan ice cream, without any of the guilt.

Just four simple ingredients!
Enough for 2 x 500ml tubs
- 250g (1 cup) chestnut puree
- 2 tablespoons of dark rum
- 300 ml (1 ¼ cups) coconut cream
- 50 grams (1/2 cup) icing sugar
How to make chestnut vegan ice cream
The great thing about this recipe (apart from the fact it involves rum) is that you can make it without using an ice cream machine.
You just need a spoon, some tubs and a freezer… and a little willpower to wait until the ice cream has chilled enough to be more than chestnut coconut soup.
- Mix the chestnut puree and rum until smooth
- Whip the coconut cream and icing sugar
- Fold in the chestnut/rum mixture with the sugary coconut cream
- Leave in an airtight container overnight
- Chop a handful of Marron Glace
- Serve and sprinkle the Marron Glaces on top
