Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Raw cashews
- 1.5 cups Coconut milk (full fat)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 10 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Natural peanut butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted peanuts
- 0.5 cup Vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
Begin by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for 10-15 minutes to soften them. Drain well and set aside.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, coconut milk, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until very smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Pour the cashew mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for about 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to ensure an even texture.
While the ice cream base is chilling, prepare the caramel by blending the pitted Medjool dates with water, the remaining 1/4 cup of maple syrup, natural peanut butter, and salt in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.
Roughly chop the unsalted peanuts and vegan chocolate chips and set aside.
Once the ice cream is semi-frozen but still soft, fold in the date caramel, chopped peanuts, and chocolate chips. Swirl the caramel gently to create ribbons throughout the ice cream.
Return the ice cream to the freezer for an additional 2-3 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
Scoop into bowls and enjoy your Vegan Snickers Ice Cream!
