Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw Hazelnuts
• 14 ounces Full-fat Coconut Milk
• 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
• 0.5 cup Maple Syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa Butter

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Roast the hazelnuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

Once the hazelnuts are cool enough to handle, place them in a clean kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove the skins. It is okay if a few bits of skin remain.

Step 4

In a high-speed blender, add the skinned hazelnuts, coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 5

Melt the cocoa butter gently in a small pot over low heat or in the microwave, then add it to the blender.

Step 6

Blend all ingredients on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Taste the mixture and adjust with additional maple syrup or a pinch more salt if desired.

Step 8

Pour the blended mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.

Step 9

Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Step 10

Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for around 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
