Ingredients

2 cups raw cashews (soaked overnight)
1 cup thick Thai young coconut meat
5 tablespoons maple syrup or raw agave nectar
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
¾ cup strawberries (frozen)

Recipe Directions

1. Blend the soaked cashews in a Vitamix. You may need to add a little water just to get it creamy.

2. Once that’s completely smooth with no chunks, add coconut meat, and then the rest of the ingredients. You should have a totally smooth, creamy, light strawberry minty cream.

3. Freeze cream for 20 minutes.

4. Process through an ice cream maker. Scoop that stuff out and freeze for another 20 minutes.

5. Scoop out again and eat!

You may need to add more peppermint extract, depending on how minty you want it.

And when you freeze the leftovers (if there is any) it really turns out like real, scoopable ice cream. If it’s too hard, just defrost it in the microwave for a few seconds, but be careful not to melt it.

Kids wont even know that this is raw, it’s so creamy!

Something with the strawberry-mint combination, because vanilla ice cream just doesn’t taste like this.

Looks great--I'll post again once I try it. But FYI, microwaves will kill all foods, no matter how long you heat for. Obviously you can make whatever choices you want, but you may want to consider this when looking to maintain the integrity of your food.

Don't mean to criticize--the recipe looks great!

I'm glad everybody liked it! But ambiguous, I only put the ice cream on defrost, for like 4 seconds. No harm done! :-)

Dipping the sealed container in some warm water would be fairly effective in defrosting too, so you could go that route. *shrug*
