Raw Raspberries and Cream Ice Cream
Needless to say, it did not last long and I devoured it rather quickly. Berries are definitely my favorite fruit to use in summer desserts, I wish I had access to them year round but in Minnesota they are special and I have to wait for them.
Raw Raspberries and Cream Ice Cream
Makes about 5 cups
Ice Cream:
1 cup coconut water
2 cups young coconut meat (or raw cashews, soaked 4 hours and drained if unavailable)
2 cups soaked raw cashews, drained (soaked at least 4 hours)
1/2 cup raw coconut nectar or the liquid sweetener of your choice
seeds of one vanilla bean
a pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup coconut oil, warmed to liquid
2 cups raw raspberries
Add coconut water to a food processor, along with cashews, coconut, coconut nectar, vanilla, and sea salt. Process until smooth, then with the processor running, add the coconut oil slowly and process until well incorporated, about a minute. Remove 1/3 of the mixture and place in a bowl in the fridge. Add the berries to the remaining mixture in the food processor and process until well blended. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to directions. Remove from ice cream maker, and pour 1/3 of it into a freezer safe container with a lid, then add some of the plain vanilla mixture in Tbspfuls. Add half the remaining red ice cream, then more drops of vanilla. Add the rest of the berry mixture, then the last of the vanilla. Swirl with a knife. Set in the freezer for about 4 hours, or overnight before serving.

Thank you so much :)!
Looks so yummy! I could go for some ice cream right now. : )<br /><br />Perhaps you've mentioned it in a previous post, but I was wondering what brand of ice cream maker you use? <br />
Thank you :)! I use a Hamilton Beach ice cream maker I got at Target. It works better than the Cuisinart I used to have.
Amazing!! This is best recipe I've seen for vegan ice creams - thank you!
Thank you so much :)!
Hey Amy, I was wondering -- could I use frozen raspberries, and if so, should they be thawed first? <br />The fresh ones are just so expensive...<br /><br />Thanks!
