Recipe: Vegan Eggnog Ice Cream

Ingredients: 

3 cups full fat coconut milk

1 cup raw cashews

1/3 cup maple syrup

3-4 dates

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Pinch of cardamom

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

Soak the cashews and dates in filtered water for 4 hours or up to overnight. This softens them and makes them ready to blend.

Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth.

Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper. 

Pour the ice cream base into the lined pan.

Loosely cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the ice cream has set.

Let the ice cream stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. 

Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and/or nutmeg and decorate with star anise. Enjoy!
