Easy to make and incredibly flavorful, this dairy-free Chocolate Sriracha Ice Cream combines rich chocolate with a subtle, warming heat for a refreshingly different frozen treat.

This recipe is for passionate condiment lovers — the ones who’ve always wanted to try something audacious. If you ever heard the childhood jab, “Even on ice cream?”, the answer here is a confident “Yes.” Sriracha’s garlicky heat pairs surprisingly well with cocoa to create a rounded, complex dessert that’s both cooling and spicy.

Perfect for summer and easy enough to pull together on a weeknight, this Chocolate Sriracha Ice Cream uses just a few pantry ingredients and an ice cream maker to deliver impressive results. It’s vegan, dairy-free, and relies on full-fat coconut milk for a creamy base and maple syrup for gentle sweetness. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level for either a faint warmth or a more pronounced kick.
