Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups cashews, ½ cup (65 g) if just making enough for the ice cream
¼ cup water
1 ¼ cups organic sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa butter
4 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean
ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Place the cashews in a large bowl. Add enough room-temperature water to cover the cashews. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and soak overnight.
  • Place the bowl of an ice cream machine in the freezer overnight.
  • Add the cashews and soaking water to a blender. Blend, starting on low speed and increasing to high until smooth and frothy, about 40 seconds. Strain into a large bowl through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
  • Reserve 1 cup (240 ml) of cashew milk for the ice cream and store the rest in the refrigerator for up to a week for another use.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is clear, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cocoa butter, coconut oil, and salt. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
  • In a blender, combine the cashew milk and coconut milk. Blend on low speed. With the blender running, pour in the sugar mixture to emulsify. Continue until well-blended, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into a large metal bowl and mix in the vanilla extract. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean and whisk to combine.
  • Chill the base in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Add the chilled base to the ice cream maker and churn for 1 hour, or as long as the machine requires, until thick and creamy.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a loaf pan and freeze overnight.
  • Scoop and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
