INGREDIENTS 

• 400ml organic coconut milk
• 1 cup  cashews
• ½ Cup coconut oil, melted
• ½ Cup Coconut Blossom Nectar
• ¼ Cup Lucuma Powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

METHOD

1.Blend all the ingredients together until smooth.

2.Take your pick of superfood flavours and add 2 Tbsp and thoroughly mix it into the base before you set it in the freezer.

3.Add One Additional Superfood Powder of Your Choice

• Spirulina powder
• Cacao Powder
• Cacao Nibs
• Mesquite powder

4.Set for 3 hours minimum, or for the best texture leave it overnight.

Notes: Depending on how cold your freezer is, you may need to leave the ice cream out to melt a little before dishing up. The great thing about this ice cream is that it can be refrozen in the unlikely event that someone doesn’t lick the bowl clean.

This ice cream is easy to prepare and the beauty is you can do it in advance. There are many ways you can set this ice cream too. There’s the obvious, set and serve as ice cream scoops, but I’ve also set it in a silicone loaf tin, easy to turn out and serve as ice cream slices.  I’ve even made my children ice cream birthday cakes’ using this recipe and setting it in a round cake tin. Then, of course there is the quintessential topping : chocolate sauce!
