Vanilla Cashew Milk Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Place the cashews in a large bowl. Add enough room-temperature water to cover the cashews. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and soak overnight.
• Place the bowl of an ice cream machine in the freezer overnight.
• Add the cashews and soaking water to a blender. Blend, starting on low speed and increasing to high until smooth and frothy, about 40 seconds. Strain into a large bowl through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
• Reserve 1 cup (240 ml) of cashew milk for the ice cream and store the rest in the refrigerator for up to a week for another use.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is clear, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cocoa butter, coconut oil, and salt. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
• In a blender, combine the cashew milk and coconut milk. Blend on low speed. With the blender running, pour in the sugar mixture to emulsify. Continue until well-blended, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into a large metal bowl and mix in the vanilla extract. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean and whisk to combine.
• Chill the base in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Add the chilled base to the ice cream maker and churn for 1 hour, or as long as the machine requires, until thick and creamy.
• Transfer the ice cream to a loaf pan and freeze overnight.
• Scoop and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Add the cashews to a medium bowl with enough water to cover by 1 inch (2 ½ cm). Soak for 3-4 hours. Drain the cashews and discard the soaking water.
• Add the soaked cashews and filtered water to a high-powered blender. Blend, starting on low speed and gradually increasing the speed to high, for 1-2 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
• Add the dates, vanilla, and salt. Blend on low speed to combine.
• Transfer the cashew milk to an airtight container and chill before serving. The cashew milk will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. If the milk separates, shake well before using.
• Enjoy!
