What Inspired This Moonbeam Ice Cream Recipe?
Have you ever listened to a song and thought, this needs to be a flavor? That’s exactly what happened when I heard “Mystical Magical” by Benson Boone. One line in particular stuck with me, “Moonbeam Ice Cream”, and I couldn’t stop wondering: what would a moonbeam taste like?
I wanted something ethereal but nourishing, dreamy yet down to earth. So I got to work in my kitchen and created what I now call my Moonbeam Ice Cream Recipe, a vibrant, plant-based blend that’s creamy, cool, and as beautiful as it is delicious. The best part? It’s actually good for you.
How Do You Make Ice Cream Without Cream?
I get this question a lot. The truth is, you don’t need dairy to create something smooth, decadent, and ice cream-like. For this recipe, I rely on a base of frozen bananas and white grapes to deliver that luscious texture. The coconut yogurt brings creaminess, and the blue spirulina gives it a magical, celestial hue. It’s all blended into a thick, spoonable “nice cream” that’s both satisfying and stunning.
Think of it as a hybrid between a smoothie bowl and soft-serve ice cream, no refined sugar, no guilt, and absolutely no ice cream maker required.
What Makes This Moonbeam Ice Cream So Special?
I wanted this to be more than just another “healthy” dessert. To me, this Moonbeam Ice Cream Recipe is about the experience. It’s cold and creamy, yes, but it’s also fresh, fruity, and just the right amount of whimsical. The spirulina gives it a glow, while the fruit toppings add texture and natural sweetness.
It’s the kind of thing I reach for on a sunny afternoon, or when I want something sweet without the sugar crash. And when I serve it in a bowl with fresh dragon fruit, blueberries, and strawberries? It turns heads every time.
Can I Make It Ahead or Customize It?
Definitely. You can blend the base and keep it in the freezer for a few hours, just make sure to let it thaw slightly before serving so it’s scoopable. And when it comes to toppings, the sky’s the limit: granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, even a drizzle of almond butter all work beautifully.
It’s also easy to double or triple the batch if you’re feeding friends, or just want leftovers for later in the week (which I always do).

- Blend everything on high until thick, smooth, and creamy—aim for a soft-serve texture. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides once or twice.
- Pour the blended smoothie into a bowl. Top with the sliced fruit, such as strawberries, and fresh blueberries.
- Serve immediately while cold, and enjoy your dreamy, colorful bowl of moonbeam goodness!
Notes
- Banana texture matters: Use ripe bananas before freezing for the creamiest texture and sweetest flavor.
- No blue spirulina? You can skip it or use a pinch of butterfly pea powder for a similar look (though the taste will be different).
- Yogurt swap: If you don’t have coconut yogurt, use any plant-based yogurt like almond or soy. Greek yogurt also works if you're not strictly vegan.
- Make it extra special: Add a sprinkle of granola, chia seeds, or coconut flakes on top for crunch.
- Meal prep tip: Freeze your fruits in advance and portion them out so you can blend and go any time.
