Have you ever tried cashews and coconut together? A few months ago, I shared a toasted coconut cashew recipe with you and it was a surprise hit.

Like, cashews + coconut = YUM x power of a bagillion.

Finally, tasty math I can get behind! 😉 Well, when I was testing that recipe (and eating waaaay more coconut cashews than I thought possible), I realized that the combo was super magical, and thus, worthy of ice cream-ification.

Oh, you know what I mean! For example, dark chocolate: good. Make into dark chocolate nice cream. Peanut butter: good. Make into peanut butter swirl ice cream. Almond Joy: oh-so-friggin-good: make into this Almond Joy Vegan Paleo Ice Cream Recipe!!!

How do I make this Cashew Coconut Milk Ice Cream Keto & Low Carb?

Since this homemade ice cream is made with coconut milk and cashew butter, it’s already high-fat. To make it low carb, swap the maple syrup in this vegan ice cream recipe with a keto-friendly sweetener. Try one of the keto sweeteners below to make low carb keto ice cream:

• Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener Drops – Zero glycemic, zero carb, sugar-free, tastes like honey, with no bitter aftertaste (which you can get with stevia). One of my favorites! Keto, Vegan, Low Glycemic, Low Carb, Paleo, Gluten-Free.
• Liquid Stevia Drops – Zero glycemic, zero calories, zero carbs. Just be careful with using more than the amount in the recipe because stevia can leave quite the aftertaste, which can be unpleasant.
• Lakanto Maple Flavored Sugar-Free Syrup – Closest in taste to the pure maple syrup listed in this recipe. Only 1 net carb and 0 grams of sugar per 2 tablespoons. Keto, Vegan, Low Glycemic, Low Carb, Paleo, Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free.

Description

Homemade Cashew Coconut Milk Vegan Ice Cream (Paleo, Dairy-Free): creamy coconut milk-based ice cream packed with cashews & coconut! Make the best keto ice cream in minutes—no soaking cashews, no churn, easy! Non-Dairy, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Keto, Low Carb, Refined Sugar-Free.

---

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

Cashew Coconut Milk Ice Cream

• 1 (13.66 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
• ½ cup unsalted, natural creamy homemade cashew butter or store-bought
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, OR one of the keto-friendly sweeteners listed below* (more if you like it sweeter)

      Keto Sweeteners – use ONE of the following, instead of maple syrup:

• 14–20 drops liquid monkfruit extract (20 is delightfully sweet)
• 3 tablespoons sugar free monkfruit maple flavored syrup (more if you like it sweeter)
• 12–16 drops liquid stevia (12 is lightly sweet, 16 is very tasty!)

Optional Add-ins

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes or shreds
• 2 tablespoons roasted cashews, chopped

---

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients except Add-ins to a food processor or blender: coconut milk, cashew butter, vanilla and sweetener.
2. Blend until smooth. Periodically scrape down the sides of the blender/processor.
3. If using, add coconut only. Pulse a few times, until incorporated.
4. Pour into a freezer-friendly container with a lid, such as this Insulated Ice Cream Tub or these super cute Mini, Portion Control Ice Cream Containers.
5. 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.
6. 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.
