Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (13.5 oz each) Coconut milk, full fat
- 1 cup Espresso, freshly brewed and cooled
- 3 tablespoons Almond butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 6 large Dates, pitted
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Begin by chilling your ice cream maker bowl in the freezer for at least 24 hours, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions, to ensure it's thoroughly cold.
In a high-speed blender, combine the coconut milk, cooled espresso, almond butter, vanilla extract, pitted dates, and sea salt.
Blend the mixture on high until completely smooth and creamy, making sure the dates are entirely blended without lumps. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the mixture to ensure it has the desired level of sweetness and adjust as necessary, though be mindful to keep within Whole30 approved ingredients.
Once blended, pour the mixture into a large bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until thoroughly chilled.
After chilling, set up your ice cream maker and pour the mixture into it. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, which typically takes about 20-25 minutes.
For a soft-serve consistency, you can serve immediately. For a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2 hours.
When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Enjoy your creamy and flavorful Whole30 Espresso Ice Cream!
