Ingrédients
-
1 ½ cup PRANA organic non-roasted cashews
-
1 can coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
-
8 PRANA organic Medjool dates, pitted
-
1 cup cold filtered coffee or espresso
-
½ cup PRANA organic chocolate chunks, 70% cacao
-
1 tbsp vanilla extract
-
1 pinch PRANA unrefined Algarve sea salt
Instructions
Soak cashews in water for 4 hours or overnight. Drain, discard water and rinse.
Place a large bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
In a food processor, blend the pitted dates until they become a paste. Set aside.
Rinse and drain the cashews, and place them in your high-speed mixer. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the coffee, date paste, vanilla and salt, and continue to mix until blended. Set aside.
Without shaking the can of coconut milk, open it gently and spoon off the rich cream on top. (Set aside the liquid part for your smoothies or popsicles.)
Put the coconut cream in a large bowl and, using a hand mixer, beat it for several minutes until it doubles in size and reaches a texture similar to that of "classic" whipped cream.
Use a whisk to gently fold the cashew-coffee mixture into the whipped coconut milk. Add slowly and mix gently to avoid breaking down the whipped coconut milk.
Coarsely chop the chocolate chunks and add them while stirring gently.
Pour the mix into a cake pan, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
Take the ice cream out of the freezer about 10 minutes before you're ready to serve it. Heat an ice cream scoop in hot water before using it scoop the ice cream.
