Coffee Ice Cream
Coffee Ice Cream made with brewed coffee, raw cashew nuts, and maple syrup is blended into a smooth base and churned in an ice cream maker to achieve a creamy texture. The cashews add richness and creaminess without dairy, while the maple syrup sweetens the mixture naturally. The ice cream is soft-serve when freshly made and firms up after freezing, holding well in the freezer for storage.

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.
