Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 5-6 medjool dates
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups water
Instructions
- Begin by soaking the cashews and the dates in the 1 ½ cup water for at least 8 hours, or overnight. Place the coconut milk can in the fridge overnight as well. ensure the your ice cream bowl and maker is ready for use as well.
- Once the cashews and dates have soak, make sure the you save ½ cup of the water(I personally save it all, and use the extra in smoothies for a little sweetness, but make sure you save ½ cup for this recipe).
- In a high speed blender, add the cashews, dates, vanilla extract, the ½ cup of soaking water, and the white coconut cream scooped off the top of the can. Blend the mixture for 2 minutes until everything is blended up and you get a super smooth cream mixture.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker a churn for 45 minutes. It should be soft serve ready! If you want it to harden up more you can place it in a plastic or glass container for about 2 hours, and you will be able to scoop it (as seen in the picture). Either way, enjoy!
