ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut cream, do not shake the can
  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 12 ounces dark chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup roasted almonds, chopped

Method

  • Step 1

    First soak the cashews so they're plump. Do not skip this! Soak in a bowl of water overnight in the fridge, or in a bowl of very hot water for 1-2 hours until soft.

  • Step 2

    Open can of coconut cream WITHOUT shaking the can. Scoop out 1 cup of the cream top. The bottom of the can should have remaining water, discard or save for later use.

  • Step 3

    Add the soaked cashews and coconut cream into a blender with the instant coffee, vanilla and sea salt. Blend well until fully smooth.

  • Step 4

    Pour into silicone ice cream pop molds. Insert wooden sticks into molds.

  • Step 5

    Place in freezer until fully frozen, about 3-4 hours, up to overnight.

  • Step 6

    When the ice cream bars are fully frozen, pop them out and place on a piece of parchment paper.

  • Step 7

    In a small bowl, melt chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Chop the almonds into small pieces and mix into chocolate.

  • Step 8

    Dip and roll each ice cream bar into chocolate mixture and place on parchment. Return to freezer so chocolate sets.

  • Step 9

    Store in freezer in an airtight container. Enjoy right from the freezer!
