For the Ice Cream Base:

  • 1 cup coconut cream (use the hardened cream from the top of the can; don’t shake)

Method

  • Step 1

    Add coconut cream, soaked cashews, rice malt syrup, vanilla, cacao powder, and sea salt to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add cacao nibs or chocolate chips and pulse a few times to combine.

  • Step 2

    Pour the mixture into ice cream bar molds. Insert sticks and freeze for 2–4 hours, or until completely solid.
