The Secret of Making the Best Vegan Raspberry Ice Cream:
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashew nuts overnight soaked in water and drained,
- 400 ml of coconut milk,
- 3 Tbsp of coconut milk powder,
- 1/3 cup of frozen raspberries,
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar, or regular granulated sugar,
- 1/2 Tsp Himalayan pink salt.
Instructions
- Make sure that the cashews are completely soaked, preferably soaked overnight.
- Also, ensure that the steel bowl you are about to use to blend your ice cream is in the freezer for at least 7 to 24 hours before, preferably 24 hours for better results.
- And make sure that you have chilled coconut milk resting in your refrigerator.
- Now, in a high-speed mixer blender, blend the soaked cashews. Make sure it’s 100% smooth and all the cashews are blended out. So feel free to blend longer to achieve that smoothness.
- Similarly, blend out the frozen raspberries into a chunky paste. In case you do not like chunks in your ice cream, feel free to blend them into a smooth paste.
- Next add your chilled coconut milk, coconut powder, cashew paste, frozen raspberry paste, coconut sugar, and Himalayan pink salt into your frozen steel bowl.
- With a hand blender, whip them all until the mixture achieves a thicker and creamier consistency. It’ll take about 2-4 minutes on medium speed depending on your blender configurations.
- Now that the mixture is perfectly blended smooth, pour it into a container, or a bowl or leave it in the blender jar, smooth the surface out with a spatula, and cover the surface with a reusable wrap or parchment paper. This cover will protect your ice cream from forming any ice crystals while freezing down.
- Now place the container in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight. You can also serve it soft immediately after whipping it.
- After at least 6 hours of chilling in the freezer, remove the container from your freezer and let it sit for at least 5 minutes at room temperature.
- As we all scream for Vegan Ice Cream, scoop, serve, and enjoy!
Save some room for the Dessert they say
When it comes to frozen desserts in Summers, nobody says no to those sweet treats whether he/she’s full or not. Well, for a sweet tooth person like me, ice creams can be a full meal sometimes.
Relatable enough? How about super healthy plant-based cruelty-free vegan ice creams then? For vegans, we already know the answer. But if you are still thinking if it is gonna be as tasty as regular ice creams, here are the answers for you.
Yes, it’s creamy, rich, flavorful, super yummy, yet healthy, gluten-free, and cruelty-free. Of course, it tastes like the regular frozen desserts that you drizzle with chocolate, caramel, strawberry, or any sauces of your choice and sprinkle with your favorite nuts and enjoy.
Still, wondering how can a vegan dessert be as creamy as regular desserts even without dairy? Here’s what you need to know. The secret behind vegan ice creams is nothing more than full-fat, creamy coconut milk. Though, other vegan milk substitutes, like soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, etc just don’t cut it when it comes to ice cream or any creamy dessert. Because it needs the fattiness and unctuousness that can only be found in coconut milk and to some extent in cashew milk.
So, what are you waiting for? Summer is here already. Go grab the ingredient list, visit Vegandukan, read the instructions carefully, and make your own vegan ice cream with raspberries this summer. Enjoy this cooling, refreshing, fruity, creamy treat with your friends and family. Happy Summers!
