3 Ingredients Vegan Lychee Coconut Ice Cream: super easy, delicious, no-churn ice cream made using full cream coconut milk, lychee (fresh/canned or frozen), and sweetener. A Perfect summer dessert.
Summer is here, and there’s no better way to beat the heat than with a refreshing scoop of homemade ice cream.
If you’re a fan of tropical flavors, you’re in for a treat as today, I’m sharing a recipe for a luscious Vegan Lychee Coconut Ice Cream or Vegan Litchi Coconut Ice Cream (we call Litchi in India).
The best part? It’s made with just three ingredients and requires no churning !!
This easy, no-churn ice cream is perfect for anyone looking for a dairy-free, vegan dessert that’s as delicious as it is simple to make.
Lychee is one of my Favorite summer fruit and we get tons of it in India, especially from Bihar, Dehradun, and a few more places.
So, when I recently saw this street cart selling fresh Dehradun lychee, I knew what I’d be making for a quick cooling dessert – the no-churn ice cream.
So, I bought almost 2 kgs of them and after consuming some of it, we kept the rest for our dessert.
Let’s take a closer look at the three key ingredients you’ll need:
Making this Vegan Lychee Coconut Ice Cream is as easy as 1-2-3:
Start by chilling the cans of coconut milk in the refrigerator for sometime. This helps the creaminess in coconut milk harden a little and when pulsed it can be nicely fluffed.
* Using Fresh Lychee: wash and clean the lychees. Remove the peel and it and keep the fresh or pulp aside.
* Lychee Pulp: you can use fresh, canned or frozen lychees.
* Using Canned Lychees: taste the sugar level once mixed with coconut milk, as canned lychees are soaked in sugar syrup and extremely sweet.
In a blender or food processor, add lychee pulp (whichever style you are using) and pulse to form a smooth paste.
Now, add coconut milk, and sweetener and blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
You should have a thick, creamy mixture with a lovely pale pink-cream hue from the lychees.
Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container or ice cream tin.
Cover with plastic wrap or foil or a lid and place in the freezer.
For best results, let the ice cream freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop.
* Chill Your Tools: For an extra creamy texture, chill your mixing bowl and blender blades before use.
* Avoid Ice Crystals: To minimize ice crystals, make sure to blend the mixture until it’s very smooth, and cover tightly before freezing. This step helps in preventing any moisture get into the tin.
* Mix-Ins and Toppings: Feel free to customize your ice cream with mix-ins like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or even some extra lychee pieces.
Top with fresh fruit or a drizzle of coconut syrup for an extra treat.
This Vegan Lychee Coconut Ice Cream is delightful on its own, but you can also serve it in a variety of creative ways:
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer.
It will keep well for up to two weeks.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
This Vegan Lychee Coconut Ice Cream is a dream come true for those hot summer days. Whether you’re vegan, dairy-free, or just looking for a healthier ice cream option, this recipe is a must-try.

I'm using fresh lychees but you can skip this step if using frozen lychee pulp or canned pitted lychee pulp:
* Lychee Pulp: you can use fresh, canned or frozen lychees.
If Using Canned Lychees: taste the sugar level once mixed with coconut milk, as canned lychees are soaked in sugar syrup and extremely sweet.
* Coconut Sugar: you can use any sweetener of choice including plain sugar or maple syrup, or monk fruit, or honey (non vegan option) or any other choice of sweetener.
