Description

Cashew Ice Cream Recipe: just 3 ingredients for deliciously creamy cashew ice cream. The best cashew ice cream recipe—no churn, super easy and satisfying! Vegan, Paleo.

Ingredients

Scale

Cashew Ice Cream

  • 1 (13.66 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup unsalted, natural creamy cashew butter (try homemade)
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup*
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)

Optional Add-ins

  • 2 tablespoons roasted cashews, chopped

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients except the Optional Add-into a food processor or blender: coconut milk, cashew butter, maple syrup and vanilla (if using).
  2. Blend until smooth. Periodically scrape down the sides of the blender/processor.
  3. Pour into a freezer-friendly container with a lid, such as this insulated ice cream tub or these super cute mini ice cream containers.
  4. Cover and place into the freezer. Freeze for 1 hour. Then, if using, fold in chopped cashews—the ice cream mixture will be thickened & creamy—this will prevent the cashews from sinking to the bottom.
