Real coconut cream with allergy friendly gluten free Vegan Oreos and no ice cream maker required, makes this Mint Cookies N Cream a big hit. Love this easy dairy free no churn option that’s free of the top 8 food allergens making this a perfect way to kick off National Food Allergy Awareness week, #TealTakeOver.
Oreos and ice cream seem like an awesome combination. Creamy vanilla dairy free ice cream with loads of chocolate oreo chunks and hints of mint is hard to believe it’s free of the 8 most common food allergen. If you suffer from a dairy allergy, this could be your new go-to recipe this Summer.
Let’s face it, with hot n humid weather approaching (and school ending) there will be days ice cream could be in order. If you’re like me, you don’t have an ice cream maker (and don’t want to store one). What’s better and easier than to just mix your favorite add-ins and freeze? And there’s no room for the “H” word here (healthy) and that’s why ice cream is a treat to be enjoy once in awhile…
Like for this Teal Take Over.
Have you guys even heard of Teal Take Over?
It’s a week dedicated to raising food allergy awareness. National Food Allergy Awareness Week is May 10-16. During this time, I’ll be sharing more about our journey and struggles with food allergies.
I’ll be sharing our personal and very real experience leading up to the emergency room visit with my older son. This story should have been here long ago but the guilt of our story is has stopped me. Not this time. Be sure to look for this soon.
For those of you reading this who do not have any food allergies, you might think it doesn’t apply to you… but…This could become a very valuable life lesson since food allergies are on the rise. Chances are you either know a family member or friend that has a food allergy. There has been a stunning 50% increase in food allergies since 1995. The number of children and adults managing food allergies range in the millions.
As you know, both of my boys suffer from food allergies. My oldest suffers from a peanut allergy. This seem simple in comparison to my youngest Mrs. Naughty, who is allergic to allergens including: wheat (gluten), egg, soy, peanut, tree nut, seafood/shellfish, sunflower, sesame, beans and peas.

Dairy Free Cookies N Cream Ice Cream (Gluten Free Vegan)
Author: Laura @ Petite Allergy Treats
Ingredients
- 2 cans coconut cream (not milk)
- 12 of my vegan gluten free mint oreos
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- Mix coconut cream, sugar and extract until incorporated.
- Break or coarsely chop oreos and mix with cream.
- Pour entire mixture into a baking pan lined with foil and set in freezer for 6 hours or until frozen.
- Enjoy!
Notes: The cookies are your choice if you wanted regular oreo which you can find the recipe here. The mixture freezes pretty firm, it may be helpful to allow to thaw 10 minutes before scooping. Lining the pan with foil is for easy removal and so you don’t scratch the pan when scooping the ice cream.

Hello, I’m Laura! Thanks for stopping by… I hope this blog will help you or someone you know and love. 
So I tried making this recipe and while it tasted delicious, for some reason it would not freeze, and I left it in there for 2 days? Any thoughts on why? The only thing I was unsure about when making it was whether or not I was supposed to whip it in a food processor or just stir it together by hand, which is what I did. Does it need to be whipped for a certain amount of time? Any ideas would be much appreciated as the flavor was incredible, now I just need to get it frozen! =)
Sorry to hear this… I’m not sure why it would not have frozen, even after 2 days! Did you use coconut cream (not coconut milk)? The cream is almost pure fat and not liquid, and will firm up pretty fast. It will actually be too frozen to scoop without allowing it to thaw a bit. Whipping shouldn’t really make too much of a difference.
I did use coconut cream so that’s why I was so confused as to why it wouldn’t freeze. Should I have put the coconut cream cans in the fridge before mixing it all together? Maybe I just ended up with a bad can?
Hmm, so strange… Maybe there were too many cookies? It should have frozen no matter what though, it was 2 days. Try chilling the cans first but I found it stiffer to mix everything. Hope that helps!
Would you happen to have a picture of the coconut cream you used?
Hi Alexandra, The coconut cream I used for this was from Trader Joe’s. I like their brand since the cans are consistently pure cream and hardly any liquid. Here’s a photo from my whipped coconut cream post-https://petiteallergytreats.com/homemade-coconut-whipped-cream-dairy/
Would this recipe work in an ice cream maker? I’m new to the dairy allergy.
Absolutely! I think it would turn out much creamier and lighter with an ice cream maker.
Ours wouldn’t freeze either!
Sorry to hear that Christina… it must have something to do with the type of coconut cream used. What brand did you try using??
