The magic happens when we add a homemade crunchy topping made from oatmeal, all-purpose flour, vegan butter, light brown sugar, and aromatic cinnamon.

Ingredient Spotlight: Fresh Peaches and Oat Crisp Topping

Using fresh in-season peaches ensures that our ice cream has just the right amount of natural sweetness without overwhelming the delicate peach flavor. Combined with plant-based yogurt and milk, you get a luxuriously smooth base that freezes beautifully with the Ninja Creami. If you want the ultimate creamy vegan treat, blend in some protein powder to make it a Ninja Creami protein ice cream.

The oat crisp topping—made crunchy from oatmeal, brown sugar, all purpose flour, vegan butter, and cinnamon—is baked until golden and crisp, then stirred into the ice cream to deliver a delightful texture contrast and deep, warm spice notes in every bite.

Steel cut oats are the ingredient in the topping that gives it a crunchy bite when baked. I love the fact that these oats are organic, and that they are sprouted grains for a lower glycemic index is just icing on the cake!

Ingredients for the Peach Ice Cream

For this recipe, I wanted to create one of my favorite summer time treats in a frozen form. We all know and love a freshly baked peach crisp right out of the oven, but I’m tired of heating up the house and using the oven in the summer. I knew that I could have the same flavors, blended into a frozen treat made with my Ninja Creami Deluxe. This vegan ice cream has fresh peaches and a crunchy, baked oat crisp topping that we can swirl in or sprinkle on top.

• vegan yogurt – an easy ingredient to make a luxurious ice cream base
• fresh peaches – there’s something about the taste of fresh peaches in the summertime, but substitute canned peaches as needed the rest of the year
• monk fruit sweetener – one of the few options without erythritol and has a great taste
• xanthan gum – any stabilizer like guar gum or carrageenan works, optional for texture
• vanilla bean paste – we’re not baking so the flavor of the premium vanilla shines
• protein powder – optional for making a Ninja Creami protein ice cream

An added note for the protein powder here, vegan yogurt is usually much thinner than its dairy counterpart. This recipe using vegan yogurt is going to result in a final product that is maybe halfway between an ice cream and a sorbet. Adding your favorite plant based vanilla or unflavored powder will result in a much more satisfying vegan Ninja Creami protein ice cream that has the creaminess you’ll crave.

How to Make Peach Ice Cream in the Ninja Creami

Here’s a quick overview of the process you’ll follow (complete instructions will be provided in the recipe card below):

• Prepare the crunchy topping by baking oatmeal, all-purpose flour, vegan butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon until crispy. (see complete ingredients and instructions below)
• Blend diced peaches, plant-based yogurt, sweetener, vanilla, any stabilizer (optional), and cinnamon until smooth.
• Freeze the mixture in your Ninja Creami pint container for twenty-four hours until solid.
• Use a firm spoon or other utensil to scrape flat any hump that forms while freezing. 
• Place your frozen solid base into the outer bowl and secure it into your Ninja Creami Deluxe ice cream machine.
• Select the light ice cream program to transform your frozen base into smooth, creamy vegan peach ice cream.
• Due to the lack of fat and sugar in this recipe, the first result will be dry and powdery in texture. Add a couple of tablespoons of oat milk to the container and use the machine’s re-spin cycle to get the ice cream to the best texture.
• Serve immediately as soft serve, or refreeze briefly for firmer scoops.
• Mix in your prepared oat crisp topping until evenly distributed, or just sprinkle on top.

The result is an exceptional vegan ice cream packed with flavor and texture—perfectly creamy, subtly spiced, and utterly irresistible!

Ingredients and Instructions for the Oat Crisp Topping

• steel cut oats – combined with the flour and brown sugar, the oats create the perfect crisp topping
• all purpose flour – helps the oats stick together in crumbly, crunchy clumps
• light brown sugar – gives the topping its sweetness and holds it together
• vegan butter – for moisture and buttery flavor, helps with browning too
• cinnamon – the spice transforms and elevates the dessert’s flavor
• salt – they say a bit of salt enhances the sweetness

The beauty of making this dessert is that you can make this topping whenever you want, you don’t have to heat the kitchen up at serving time. This oat crisp topping can be made ahead of time and saved to mix in your finished ice cream, or just sprinkle it on top for maximum crunch. It’s so simple to make, we’re just mixing everything together and baking it for a half hour. Once it cools off, the topping can be broken into edible size crumbles and sealed up until use. (see the recipe card for full ingredient amounts and instructions)

Serving Ideas for Your Peach Ice Cream

Serve immediately after the re-spin cycle for a soft-serve style texture with this recipe. Due to the absence of fat and sugars in this recipe, it may serve best after being placed back into the freezer after the re-spin cycle to firm up. This especially if you haven’t used a stabilizer ingredient such as xanthan gum or guar gum.

This Vegan Peach Ice Cream is delightful on its own or served with additional toppings such as:

• Fresh sliced peaches or berries
• Extra sprinkle of cinnamon
• Drizzle of agave syrup or vegan caramel sauce
• Vegan whipped cream

Storage Tips

For best results, store your prepared Peach Ice Cream in an airtight container in the freezer.  Re-spin after a solid freezing for the best creamy texture. For best texture, only mix in the oat crisp topping into the whole container if it will be served immediately. The oat crisp topping should be stored in a sealed container as well.
