Rinse the raspberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a blender, combine the raspberries, coconut milk, cashew milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth. Stop to scrape down the sides if necessary.
Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove the raspberry seeds, using a spatula to press the mixture through. Discard the seeds.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly cold.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually around 20 to 25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up or longer for a firmer texture.
When ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Scoop into bowls and enjoy your creamy, vegan raspberry ice cream!
