Ingredients
- 2 cans (13.5 oz each) Coconut milk, full fat
- 1 cup Espresso, freshly brewed and cooled
- 3 tablespoons Almond butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 6 large Dates, pitted
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by chilling your ice cream maker bowl in the freezer for at least 24 hours, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions, to ensure it's thoroughly cold.
Step 2
In a high-speed blender, combine the coconut milk, cooled espresso, almond butter, vanilla extract, pitted dates, and sea salt.
Step 3
Blend the mixture on high until completely smooth and creamy, making sure the dates are entirely blended without lumps. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Taste the mixture to ensure it has the desired level of sweetness and adjust as necessary, though be mindful to keep within Whole30 approved ingredients.
Step 5
Once blended, pour the mixture into a large bowl or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until thoroughly chilled.
Step 6
After chilling, set up your ice cream maker and pour the mixture into it. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, which typically takes about 20-25 minutes.
Step 7
For a soft-serve consistency, you can serve immediately. For a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2 hours.
Step 8
When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Step 9
Enjoy your creamy and flavorful Whole30 Espresso Ice Cream!
