Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup bourbon optional
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate shavings
- ½ cup quartered cherries
Instructions
- If you do not have a high-powered blender, soak the cashews in cold water for 4-24 hours before making the ice cream.
- Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. Add the cashews, coconut oil, maple syrup, bourbon (if using), sugar, vanilla, and salt to a blender or food processor and blend on high until smooth, about 3 minutes. OPTIONAL STEP: if you don't have a high-powered blender, you may want to strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve so that it's super smooth.
- Pour the cream into a bowl and refrigerate it until it's completely cold.
- Once the cream is cold, process it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Once the ice cream resembles soft-serve, add the chocolate and cherries and let your ice cream maker stir them into the ice cream. Scoop the ice cream into a freezer-proof container and freeze until it's solid.
Notes
- We have to thank Vanilla and Bean and her bourbon cherry ice cream for the inspiration behind this Vegan Cherry Garcia Ice Cream. You rock!
