Ingredients

• 200 grams Raw cashews
• 400 ml Coconut milk (full-fat)
• 150 grams Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 50 grams Shredded coconut
• 20 grams Optional: Toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Soak the raw cashews in warm water for 4-6 hours, or overnight, to soften them. Drain and rinse well before using.

Step 2

Step 2: In a blender, combine the soaked cashews and 200 ml of coconut milk. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Step 3: In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 200 ml of coconut milk, sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Step 4: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk this into the simmering coconut milk mixture to thicken it, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Step 5: Add the blended cashew cream into the saucepan, stirring thoroughly to combine the flavors. Continue to cook over low heat for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Step 6: Stir in the shredded coconut for added texture. Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature, then transfer it into a freezer-safe container.

Step 7

Step 7: Place the container in the freezer for 4-6 hours, stirring the mixture every hour to break up any large ice crystals and maintain a creamy texture.

Step 8

Step 8: Once frozen, scoop the Frozen Cashew Cream Bienmesabe into serving dishes. Optionally, garnish with toasted coconut flakes for a crunchy touch before serving. Enjoy!
