Cashew Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw cashews (or macadamia nuts)
• 1 1/3 cup milk of choice
• 5 tbsp sweetener of choice
• 1/8 tsp salt ((heaping))
• 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   Cover the nuts with water, and let soak for around six hours. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Blend all ingredients until completely smooth in a high speed blender. Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. Once frozen, blend the frozen cubes on high, using the machine's tamper, until it achieves a soft serve texture. For authentic presentation, I like to scoop the cashew ice cream into bowls with an ice cream scoop. Eat right away, or freeze each bowl for up to an hour for a firmer ice cream consistency. You can also make the recipe in an ice cream maker (see ice cream machine how-to instructions above). Or you can freeze the mixture in popsicle molds for delicious cashew ice cream popsicles!View Nutrition Facts
