Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Raw cashews
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover with hot water. Allow them to soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse thoroughly before using.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples have softened and caramelized. Let the apple mixture cool completely.
Gently fold the cooled apple mixture into the cashew cream base, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Reserve a small amount of the apple mixture for garnishing, if desired.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (this typically takes 20-25 minutes).
Transfer the churned mixture to an airtight container. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon on top and swirl it with a spoon for a decorative touch.
Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Scoop and serve garnished with any reserved apple mixture or a light sprinkling of extra cinnamon.
