No ice cream maker needed! Super easy, super deliciously rich! Top with your favorite fresh fruit :) Prepare everything in the morning or noon for a dinner dessert.
We’ll be using young Thai coconuts. The white ones you can find at Whole Foods. Read about coconuts here. Where to find them, how to open, how to eat them and their medicinal value.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup raw organic cashews (soaked for 4 hrs)
1 young coconut. You’ll need the water (juice) and coconut meat.
1/5 cup of agave (I used dates because we don’t use agave) *if you want to use dates, read below.
1/4 cup organic coconut oil
1 tblsp vanilla extract
PREPARATION:
Soak cashews for 4 hrs.
Empty the coconut water into a high speed blender. Scrape coconut meat with a spoon and put in blender. Add the agave and vanilla. Blend all (except the cashews) until smooth. Add cashews and blend again until smooth and creamy. Taste sweetness. Empty mixture into a container and cover, put in freezer for a few hours until desired consistency OR if you have an ice cream maker use it!
Scoop out and top with fresh strawberries or other fresh fruits and enjoy…slowly :)
*IF YOU WANT TO USE DATES INSTEAD OF SUGAR OR AGAVE OR STEVIA: I buy dried dates at the health food store and store them in the fridge. If I make something with them, I soak them for about 5-10 minutes in warm water so they are softer to blend and easier on your blender. Take out the seeds and add a 2 or 3 at a time while blending. Taste for sweetness as you blend and add accordingly. I honestly don’t remember how many dates I used, so just experiment. Remember to blend until smooth.
