Ingredients
- 1.5 cups raw cashews
- 1 cup coconut milk (full fat, canned)
- 12 pieces medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon spirulina powder (optional, for color)
- 0.75 cup raw cacao nibs
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse them before using.
Step 2
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, coconut milk, medjool dates, fresh mint leaves, water, vanilla extract, spirulina powder (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.
Step 3
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or mint flavor if desired by adding more dates or mint leaves.
Step 4
Pour the mint cashew base into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Stir in the raw cacao nibs until evenly distributed.
Step 5
Cover the container tightly and freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every 30-45 minutes to ensure the mixture stays smooth and doesn't form ice crystals.
Step 6
Once the ice cream is firm and scoopable, serve immediately or let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
