- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Freeze the bowl of an ice-cream maker for at least 24 hours before using.
-
Step 2.
In a blender or food processor, puree the blackberries until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp and seeds.
-
Step 3.
Rinse and drain the soaked cashews. In a blender, combine the blackberry puree, cashews, full-fat coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, dried lavender flowers, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high for 1 minute until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
-
Step 4.
Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
-
Step 5.
Pour the cooled mixture into a lidded container and refrigerate for a few hours until completely chilled.
-
Step 6.
Once the mixture is cold, churn it in the ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it resembles soft serve. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container, press a sheet of parchment paper directly onto the surface, and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.
