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

Units Scale

Cashew Ice Cream

Optional Add-ins

  • 2 tablespoons roasted cashews, chopped

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients except the Optional Add-in to a food processor or blender: coconut milk, cashew butter, maple syrup and vanilla (if using).
  2. Blend until smooth. Periodically scrape down the sides of the blender/processor.
  3. Pour into a freezer-friendly container with a lid, such as this insulated ice cream tub or these super cute mini ice cream containers.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

  1. I am finding ice cream recipes because my mother did buy ice cream machine. Will this work on that? I would really love to try this!






    1. Hi Claire! So sweet of you to look for recipes for your mom. 🙂 Yep, after you finish blending all the ingredients, you can pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and follow it’s instructions accordingly. Hope you all enjoy it!

  2. I love store-bought cashew ice cream. This version was even better, I love using it in root beer floats!






      1. Thank you for your reply Demeter. I appreciate your time. I actually swapped the cashew butter for peanut butter and added chocolate chips. It was better then any store bought vegan ice cream I had tried! It was delicious. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes.






      2. How sweet of you to say! Just know that I truly appreciate you taking time out of your day to stop by and chat with me. 🙂 Oh my, peanut butter chocolate chip vegan ice cream sounds so good!! I’m so happy you enjoyed my recipe. Can’t wait to see what you try next, Gina. 🙂

      1. I made this. It was incredibly easy. My add in was a splash of crème de cacao. I also used a ice cream maker as it was sitting in my freezer begging for use. Neither me nor my husband could tell it was non-dairy ice cream. Arguably the best ice cream I’ve tasted.






  3. I have an ice cream maker. Would this recipe work in my machine?
    So far every recipe of yours that I’ve tried I have absolutely loved. You are my go-to site when I’m in the mood for baking. I also recommend you to friends!
