Ice Cream
- 1 cup raw cashews soaked overnight
- 13.5 oz full fat coconut milk

- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 4 tbsp salted caramel find the recipe here
- 2 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored and diced
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp butter or ghee (or coconut oil for vegan)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp allspice
Instructions
- Make the salted caramel recipe ahead of time. It can be made several days in advance and kept in the refrigerator.
- Add the butter, coconut sugar, apples and spices to a pot on medium heat. Stir for 6-8 minutes, until the apples have softened. Transfer to a storage container and refrigerate.
- Add all of the ice cream ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer the ice cream base to a covered bowl and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. The more chilled the better.
- Pour the ice cream base into an ice cream maker and proceed according to maker directions. Add the spiced apples in the last minute to combine into the ice cream.
- Place half of the ice cream base into a small loaf pan, then drizzle two tablespoons of salted caramel on top. Add the remaining ice cream and top with the remaining salted caramel.
- Place in the freezer and freeze for at least 3-4 hours.
- Remove from freezer 10 minutes before eating to more easily scoop the ice cream.
