BECAUSE SIMPLY SENSATIONAL SYBARITIC ASKED… RECIPE FOR RAW VEGAN VANILLA ICE CREAM
Written by Bliss Warrior on June 12, 2008 – 8:58 pm -
A couple of weeks ago I posted that I was making vegan ice cream out of coconut and cashews and the magical Sybaritic asked for the recipe. Well, in all of my craziness and travel, I did not get a chance to post this until now.
From the amazing cookbook, Raw Food, Real World by Kenney and Melngailis:
2 cups raw cashews, soaked in spring/filtered water for at least 4 hours (even better overnight)
2 cups coconut meat (yes, from the inside of a young Thai coconut - the ones with the white husks - 4-5 coconuts to be on the safe side)
1 cup filtered water
1 cup agave nectar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Seeds of 1/2 vanilla bean or 2 additional teaspoons of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
In a Vita-Mix or high-speed blender, blend all the ingredients until completely smooth. (You may have to stop the blender - scrap the sides and blend again. It should be as smooth as a thick cream.) Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator and then process in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you make it, let me know what you think!
Also good with a couple of fresh mint leaves and cacao nibs - mint chocolate chip!
XOXOXOXO

Oooh! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try the recipe this evening. Currently, I am a bit busy making vegan sunblock for my day at the races tomorrow. Wish me luck! I’m hoping it works, as I’ve never tried this before. If anyone asks, I’d be more than happy to post the recipe later!
XOXO
