Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups raw cashews
- 1 cup coconut milk (full fat, canned)
- 12 pieces medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon spirulina powder (optional, for color)
- 0.75 cup raw cacao nibs
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse them before using.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, coconut milk, medjool dates, fresh mint leaves, water, vanilla extract, spirulina powder (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or mint flavor if desired by adding more dates or mint leaves.
Pour the mint cashew base into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Stir in the raw cacao nibs until evenly distributed.
Cover the container tightly and freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every 30-45 minutes to ensure the mixture stays smooth and doesn't form ice crystals.
Once the ice cream is firm and scoopable, serve immediately or let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
