Description
Cashew Ice Cream Recipe: just 3 ingredients for deliciously creamy cashew ice cream. The best cashew ice cream recipe—no churn, super easy and satisfying! Vegan, Paleo.
Ingredients
Cashew Ice Cream
- 1 (13.66 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted, natural creamy cashew butter (try homemade)
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup*
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
Optional Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons roasted cashews, chopped
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except the Optional Add-in to a food processor or blender: coconut milk, cashew butter, maple syrup and vanilla (if using).
- Blend until smooth. Periodically scrape down the sides of the blender/processor.
- Pour into a freezer-friendly container with a lid, such as this insulated ice cream tub or these super cute mini ice cream containers.
- Cover and place into the freezer. Freeze for 1 hour. Then, if using, fold in chopped cashews—the ice cream mixture will be thickened & creamy—this will prevent the cashews from sinking to the bottom.
- Freeze for an additional 2-5 hours, until firm. Enjoy! If enjoying the next day or later, allow to thaw for about 30-60 minutes at room temperature, or until soft enough to scoop.

Notes
*This recipe is lightly sweet. If you like sweeter ice cream, add 1-2 more tablespoons maple syrup. Taste the ice cream mixture before freezing to adjust to taste.
Storing Instructions: Store for 1-2 weeks in the freezer. Before enjoying: allow to thaw for 30-60 minutes at room temperature, or until soft enough to scoop.
To Quick Thaw: Making sure your ice cream is in a microwave-safe container, heat in 15-second increments until softened & scoopable.
Recommended Tools
- Food Processor: Nothing beats this food processor. It’s probably my most-used kitchen appliance.
- Reusable Ice Cream Containers: This tall, rectangular Insulated Ice Cream Tub fits perfectly in your freezer door. For pint-style containers: Reusable Ice Cream Tub or Mini Ice Cream Containers – perfect for homemade ice cream & love that they’re reusable!
- Trigger Ice Cream Scoop: The trigger makes it super easy to create beautiful scoops of ice cream without it getting stuck. Best Ice Cream Scoop: I seriously love this scoop! It looks amazing, and scoops like a champ.

Hi! Looks great! Wandering if I can swap the maple syrup for honey? My son is on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and cannot have Maple Syrup, but would like to try with honey. Thanks for any recommendations!
Hi Samantha! Yep, that should be fine. Hope you and your son enjoy it! 🙂
