Equipment

INGREDIENTS

Oat Milk Ice Cream
  • 1/3 c raw cashews
  • 3/4 c almond milk (or, oat milk)
  • 3/4 c coconut milk (or, use all almond milk!)
  • 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • pinch of salt
Chocolate Almond Coating
  • 1/4 c roasted almonds (chopped)
  • 1/4 c hazelnuts (chopped, or use all almonds)
  • 2 c dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Oat Milk Ice Cream
  • Mix the cashews, almond milk, and coconut milk together in a large bowl or cup. Cover and place in the fridge overnight, or at least 8 hours. This softens the cashews so they blends into a smooth ice cream base.
  • The next day, pour the cashew-milk mixture, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla, and salt into a blender and blend until completely smooth.
Chocolate Almond Ice Cream Bars
  • Place the silicone popsicle molds onto a baking sheet or large freezer-safe plate.
  • Carefully pour the ice cream mixture into the popsicle molds. Insert a popsicle stick into each mold. Place in the freezer for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for now.
  • When ready to make the ice cream bars, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave at 15s intervals, stopping to stir each time, until fully melted.
    I recommend transferring the melted chocolate into a tall glass or jar for easy dipping!
  • Pour the roasted almonds and hazelnuts into the tall glass with the chocolate. Stir together until the nuts are fully mixed into the chocolate.
  • Gently dip the frozen popsicles into the melted dark chocolate, and place them on the lined baking sheet. I recommend dipping the popsicles just once to get a nice, even coating. The chocolate will set quickly.
  • Drizzle the tops of the popsicles with additional chocolate and roasted almonds, if desired.
