Whether you’re hosting a barbecue, or relaxing by the pool, frosty desserts offer both relief from the heat and a burst of summer satisfaction.
You will be pleased to hear that you don’t have to rely on heavy, dairy-based ice cream as your #1 summer treat.
With Mandolé Orchard Almond Milk, you can enjoy healthy Almond Milk treats - like Almond Milk ice cream, Almond Milk sorbet, and Almond Milk popsicles - that suit a wide range of dietary needs whilst delivering delicious, creamy goodness.
Why Choose Almond Milk for Your Frozen Treats?
Light and Refreshing
Dairy-free ice cream alternatives start with Mandolé Orchard’s premium Almond Milk, which is naturally lactose-free and loaded with plant-based nutrients.
Our almonds are activated in purified water, then crushed and blended daily using a homemade recipe that cherishes the natural goodness inside every nut. The result is an Almond Milk that’s not only creamy and flavourful but one that is higher in protein, vitamin E, magnesium and other essential nutrients than most store-bought brands.
The light, nutty flavour of Almond Milk lends itself beautifully to frozen treats.
Where traditional ice creams can feel heavy, desserts made with Almond Milk are often lighter and more refreshing—perfect for those sweltering summer days.
Suited for Many Diets
Whether you’re following a vegan lifestyle, have lactose intolerance, or simply want to cut back on saturated fats, using Almond Milk in your ice cream, sorbet and popsicles is a delicious way to stay on track.
Plus, our Almond Milk contains no unnecessary additives, letting the pure taste of almonds shine through.
Recipe #1: Classic Vanilla Almond Milk Ice Cream
A timeless staple, Almond Milk ice cream can be made in just a few steps.
This classic vanilla version is a perfect canvas for customising with your favourite toppings, from fresh fruit to chocolate sauce.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Mandolé Orchard Almond Milk
- 1 cup coconut cream (for added richness)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or your favourite natural sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add Almond Milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Chill: Pour the mixture into a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Chilling helps the flavours meld and ensures a creamier texture.
- Freeze and Churn: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 20 minutes. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, place the mixture in the freezer, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals.
- Enjoy: For a firmer texture, let it freeze for an additional 2-3 hours. Serve topped with fresh berries or crunchy almonds for added texture.
- Tip: If you want an extra burst of taste, swirl in a fruit puree or add a handful of chopped dark chocolate right before the ice cream sets.
Recipe #2: Mixed Berry Almond Milk Sorbet
For a refreshing twist on dessert, this Almond Milk sorbet is fruit-forward and light, highlighting summer’s bounty of ripe berries.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 1/2 cup Mandolé Orchard Almond Milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Blend the Berries: In a blender, purée the berries, Almond Milk, water, honey (or agave), lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Strain (Optional): For an ultra-smooth texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
- Freeze: Pour into a freezer-safe container and place in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to prevent large ice crystals.
- Serve: Once firm, scoop into bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desire.
- Why It’s Great: This sorbet is low in fat yet bursting with vitamins and antioxidants from the delicious berries, making it a nutritious choice for a healthy Almond Milk treat.
Recipe #3: Chocolate Banana Almond Milk Popsicles
If you’re a fan of quick and easy treats, Almond Milk popsicles are a must-try.
This chocolate banana version offers a sweet, creamy bite that kids and adults will love.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 1/2 cups Mandolé Orchard Almond Milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Mandolé Orchard Almond Butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of your choice (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
- Combine: Blend bananas, Almond Milk, cocoa powder, Almond Butter and sweetener until smooth.
- Fill Molds: Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion when freezing.
- Freeze: Place the moulds in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
- Enjoy: Run the mould under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicle, then gently pull it out.
- Pro Tip: Add a sprinkle of crushed almonds for extra texture.
- Encourage Healthy Experimentation
These three recipes are just the beginning.
Dairy-free ice cream and other frozen desserts can be adapted to suit your preferences - think cinnamon, matcha, or even chai-spiced Almond Milk ice cream.
You can also explore creative flavours for your Almond Milk sorbet or swirl in nut butters, fruit purées and crunchy toppings to create custom combinations.
One of the best things about using Mandolé Orchard Almond Milk is its naturally nutty sweet flavour, allowing you to reduce the amount of added sugar.
For a healthier approach, opt for natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, dates or brown rice syrup, which complement the rich taste of almonds.
