Ingredients
- 400 ml Full-fat canned coconut milk
- 100 grams Raw cashews
- 60 ml Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Soak the raw cashews in warm water for at least 2-3 hours or preferably overnight to soften them. Drain and rinse the cashews before using.
Step 2
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked and drained cashews, full-fat canned coconut milk, maple syrup, matcha green tea powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Blend the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes, or until it becomes completely smooth and creamy. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 4
Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl or container and cover it with a plastic wrap or a lid.
Step 5
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to become sufficiently cold for churning.
Step 6
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 7
Serve immediately for the best texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours if a firmer consistency is desired.
Step 8
To serve, scoop the vegan matcha soft serve into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately.
