Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups raw cashews, soaked in filtered water for 4 hours (or more)
2 cups young coconut meat
1 cup filtered water, as needed
1 cup agave nectar (preferably raw!)
1/4 cup coconut butter or 1/4 cup expeller pressed coconut oil
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 vanilla bean, seeds of (or double your vanilla extract)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

In Vita-Mix, blend all ingredients (except cashews and approximately 1/2 the water) until creamy and smooth.
Add water as needed to keep the mixture circulating through the blender.
Lastly add the drained cashews and blend till smooth again and a lot of air is whipped into the mixture.
After that, "chill in the fridge and process in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions" is the final instruction on the recipe I base mine on. However, I don't have an ice cream maker at the moment, so I just whip it up good in the Vita-Mix and pour it into little cups and freeze as is. If I've put enough coconut oil/butter into the mix, it will be plenty creamy and spoonable out of the freezer.
VARIATIONS.
I ALWAYS make chocolate because that's my favorite! -- I add raw cacao powder until it's chocolately enough for me in the coconut and agave mixture.
Another variation is adding fresh peppermint leaves and stirring in raw cacao nibs for mint chocolate chip.
You can also add any kind of fruit.
YOUNG COCONUT MEAT, WHAT'S THAT? These are available at Whole Foods or ethnic grocery stores, generally. The best price on them is at the ethnic stores. In St Lou they range from $1.59 each to $3.99 each for the same kind of coconut depending on where you buy them. These are not the small, brown hairy looking coconuts, but the shaved white big coconuts. The meat inside them is soft and gelatinous. You use a cleaver to cut a small square in the top, and drink the coconut water out with a straw (or dump it into a glass). It's full of electrolytes -- nature's Gatorade. You can also use it in the ice cream instead of filtered water. When the water is emptied out you hack the coconut in half and scoop out the meat. The amount of meat in the coconut varies greatly -- try to pick coconuts that seem heavy for their size. I will drink the water and freeze the meat until I have enough meat to make the recipe and then defrost it while I soak the cashews. It does require some effort especially when you haven't done it before, but it's worth it!
ENJOY! :).

VEGAN RAW CHOCOLATE CHERRY "ICE CREAM"

Vegan Raw Chocolate Cherry

I got this recipe off of a website, and it is AMAZING. I am not a vegan or a raw foodie, just looking for healthy alternatives. I use my Vitamix to make this, but you could probably use any blender or food processor. You can also add chocolate chips for texture.

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 banana, frozen and cut
1/2 cup frozen cherries
1 tablespoon peanut butter or 1 tablespoon almond butter
1/2 tablespoon honey or 1/2 tablespoon agave nectar
1 tablespoon cocoa or 1 tablespoon carob powder
1 dash sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Peel and chop the banana, then freeze solid. Process all ingredients in a blender or food processor until combined into a smooth consistency, similar to soft-serve ice cream. Either enjoy right away or allow to set in freezer until firm.

Tips:

For a creamier texture, use frozen bananas that have been peeled and chopped into small pieces.
Add other frozen fruits, such as strawberries, blueberries, or mangoes, to create different flavors of ice cream.
For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon or two of nut butter, such as almond butter or peanut butter.
If you want a sweeter ice cream, add a few drops of stevia or maple syrup.
For a more decadent ice cream, add a scoop of vegan protein powder.
To make a chocolate ice cream, add a tablespoon or two of cacao powder.
For a mint ice cream, add a few drops of peppermint extract.
For a coffee ice cream, add a tablespoon or two of instant coffee powder.
Serve the ice cream immediately, or freeze it for later.

Conclusion:

Raw vegan ice cream is a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With a little creativity, you can create endless flavor combinations. So next time you are craving something sweet, reach for a bowl of raw vegan ice cream instead of a bowl of high-calorie, processed ice cream. Your body will thank you!
