Hello, my gorgeous people! I hope you are having a soft and sweet day, just like this vanilla macadamia ice cream recipe I will share today. I love nuts for their nutty flavors, but macadamia nuts are one of a kind. They have a rich, buttery flavor, and you can even taste some natural sweetness from the nuts.
So I am super excited to share the ice cream recipe made with these beautifully nutty and sweet macadamia nuts with you all today.
Let’s dive right into the real vanilla macadamia ice cream then, shall we?
The Real Vanilla Macadamia Ice Cream Recipe
1. Generous Macadamia as an Ingredient
I call this “real” vanilla macadamia ice cream recipe for its generous amount of macadamia nuts!
I was surprised to learn that many ice creams with certain flavors only have coloring, artificial scents, or taste. Even the homemade ones were so petty with the amount of main ingredients they were putting in the recipe.
Well, not here with this recipe! We are going to use lots of macadamia nuts to taste the real macadamia.
2. Enhanced Vanilla Flavor
The taste of macadamia nuts has some sort of coconutty and vanilla flavor. So I decided to add some vanilla to the macadamia ice cream to enhance the flavor.
The result is this real vanilla macadamia ice cream recipe.
But do you know what’s more? It’s healthy, too!

I eat lots of frozen treats. But I still don’t want to compromise my health by eating so many frozen desserts. Desserts can be healthy yet delicious! I always have health in mind, so all my ice creams, gelato, or sorbet recipes are healthier in some way than regular store-bought ice creams. There are many healthy Ninja Creami recipes on my blog, so you can check them out if you are interested. 💪

What makes this vanilla macadamia ice cream recipe healthy?
1. Macadamia nuts are healthy
First and foremost, macadamia nuts are healthy. Here are some snippets of the health benefits of macadamia nuts.
- Weight-Loss: Don’t be fooled by the high-fat content of the macadamia nuts! They are good fats, and macadamia has lots of fiber and protein as well. These combined help you feel full for a long time.
- Heart Health: A study found that eating macadamia nuts may play a role in preventing coronary artery disease due to their healthy fact called monosaturated fatty acids.
- Healthy Skin: Macadamia nuts are high in vitamin E, which is a vital vitamin for skin health.

Product Recommendation for Sugar-Free Vanilla Macadamia Ice Cream Recipe
Make the ice cream with monk fruit or stevia.
1. Monk Fruit Sweetener with Erythritol
My Pick
Micro Ingredients | Erythritol Granules, 6 Pounds (96 Ounce), 1:1 Sugar Substitute
To make creamy ice cream, you need sugar. But instead of using regular sugar, I recommend using a healthy sweetener that only adds sweetness to bring out the best flavor of the ingredients.

Great to eat after a workout for its protein content and other nutrients, this chocolate ice cream is more than other vanilla and chocolate ice cream pairings.
The nutty, creamy, and deep flavors of the peanut butter ice cream are too good to resist. It’s also packed with protein, so it’s one of our favorites. They also go very well with the refreshing and elegant pear sorbet.
