INSTRUCTIONS
Soak the cashews: Soak the raw cashews in boiling water for at least 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Make the ice cream base: In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, sweetener, coconut cream, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Freeze the ice cream: Pour the mixture into 6 ice cream bar molds. Insert sticks into each mold. Freeze the bars for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
Prepare the chocolate coating: Melt the dairy-free chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
Coat the ice cream bars: Once the ice cream bars are fully frozen, remove them from the molds.
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
Place the chocolate-coated bars on a parchment or silicone mat-lined board.
Final freeze: Return the bars to the freezer for 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate.
NOTES
Coconut cream is the thick, white part of full-fat canned coconut milk that separates and solidifies when you chill it in the fridge. To get coconut cream, simply refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight and then scoop out the solidified cream from the top, leaving the liquid behind.
