Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (13.5 oz each) Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Cashews, soaked
- 0.75 cup Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 bean Vanilla bean (optional)
Instructions
Soak the cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften them. Drain and rinse before using.
In a high-speed blender, combine the coconut milk, soaked cashews, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
If using a vanilla bean, split it open and scrape out the seeds, adding them to the blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, without any visible chunks of cashews.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches the consistency of soft serve.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
