Soak the raw cashews in warm water for at least 2-3 hours or preferably overnight to soften them. Drain and rinse the cashews before using.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked and drained cashews, full-fat canned coconut milk, maple syrup, matcha green tea powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Blend the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes, or until it becomes completely smooth and creamy. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl or container and cover it with a plastic wrap or a lid.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to become sufficiently cold for churning.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Serve immediately for the best texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours if a firmer consistency is desired.
To serve, scoop the vegan matcha soft serve into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately.
