Recipe Intro From plantcrazii
This creamy, dreamy vegan ice cream starts with a cashew base studded with boozy rum-soaked raisins. Lloyd from @plantcrazii says this flavor a favorite in Jamaican households, but of course puts a gourmet spin on it by making it from scratch- including his own homemade sweetened condensed oat milk! Did we mention no ice cream machine is required?
