Vegan Mint Chip Ice Cream
- Serves: 6
- Prep Time: 5 min
- Cook Time: 10 min
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water overnight and drained
- 1 (14 oz) can light coconut milk
- 1 (14 oz) can coconut cream
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
Method
- In a high powered blender, blend the cashews that have been soaked in water overnight, the coconut milk & coconut cream, sugar, vanilla and peppermint extract for 5 minutes until completely smooth.
- Pour the blenders contents into a ice cream maker and continue as per operating instructions.
- When the ice cream is starting to thicken up, add the chopped chocolate pieces.
- When the consistency begins to resemble soft serve, transfer nice cream to an airtight container.
- Place the container in the freezer for 1-2 hours and serve. If you leave the nice cream in the freezer for longer than 2 hours it will solidify, making it hard to scoop. If this happens, simply place the nice cream out on the counter for 30 minutes to soften before serving.
*Nice cream will keep for 2 weeks in freezer.
