Coffee Ice Cream
Description
This Coffee Ice Cream utilizes cooled brewed coffee for its defining flavor combined with raw cashew nuts, which provide a dairy-free creaminess and body. Maple syrup brings natural sweetness. The ingredients are blended thoroughly until smooth, ensuring no pieces of cashew remain visible.
The mixture is frozen in an ice cream maker for about 30 to 35 minutes, resulting in a thick, creamy soft serve consistency. For a firmer texture suitable for scooping, the ice cream is then stored in an airtight container in the freezer for a few hours. It maintains scoopability and flavor well stored.
This recipe yields approximately 3¼ cups and is a vegan alternative to traditional coffee ice cream. Without an ice cream maker, other freezing methods can be used but results may vary. The balance of coffee flavor and creaminess is distinctive due to the cashew base.
Nutrition details given are estimates for a half-cup serving. Proper freezing and airtight storage for up to three months preserve texture and taste.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups brewed coffee (cooled, 12 ounces)
- 1 1/2 cups cashew nuts 206 grams, raw
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (155 grams)
Instructions
- If your ice cream maker requires a frozen bowl before you get started, make sure to freeze the bowl at least 24 hours in advance. Add the cold coffee, cashews, and maple syrup to a blender, and blend until very smooth and creamy, with no visible cashew pieces remaining.
- Pour the blended mixture into the frozen bowl of your ice cream machine, and then process until thick and creamy, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Enjoy right away, for a soft-serve consistency, or transfer to an airtight container to store in your freezer. It will be more firm and scoop-able after 2 to 4 hours in the freezer, and will still be as scoopable as regular ice cream the next day! Store in the freezer for up to 3 months, as long as you keep it tightly sealed.
Notes
- Yield is about 3¼ cups of ice cream total.
- If an ice cream maker is unavailable, alternative methods can be used but may not yield the same texture.
- The nutrition information is an estimate based on a half-cup serving.
- Store the ice cream tightly sealed in the freezer for up to three months for best quality.
