Egg Free Jell-O Vanilla “Ice Cream” is a delightful and creamy treat that skips the eggs while still delivering a luscious texture. The easy recipe combines fresh cantaloupe and a few simple ingredients for a refreshing dessert that everyone will enjoy. Perfect for warm days or a sweet afternoon snack.
For those seeking alternatives, you can substitute the skim milk with additional coconut milk or any non-dairy milk for a completely dairy-free version. If you’re watching your sugar intake, feel free to use your favorite sweetener instead. Fresh cantaloupe works best for flavor and texture, but if you can only find canned, just be sure to drain it well.

Egg Free Jell-O Vanilla "Ice Cream" Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (1 ounce) package fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix

- 2 tablespoons sugar (or other sweetener)

- Puree 1/3 cup cantaloupe or mash it if you prefer a chunkier texture. Keep in mind that the cantaloupe flavor may be mild, yet it contributes to the thickness and creaminess.
- Add the pureed cantaloupe and 2 tablespoons sugar to the pudding mixture, stirring well to combine all the ingredients.
- Transfer the mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions or until it achieves a soft-serve consistency.
