Ingredients
- 1 cup raw hazelnuts
- 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
- 8 pieces dates, pitted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Spread the raw hazelnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and their skins start to crack.
Step 3
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, place them in a clean kitchen towel and rub them to remove most of the skins. It's okay if some bits of skin remain.
Step 4
Add the skinned hazelnuts to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend them until a fine meal forms, then continue blending until a creamy hazelnut butter forms, about 2-3 minutes, scraping the sides as necessary.
Step 5
Add the pitted dates, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 7
Once churned, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for about 2-4 hours until firm.
Step 8
Before serving, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and enjoy your Whole30 hazelnut ice cream!
