Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Freeze the bowl of an ice-cream maker for at least 24 hours before using.
-
Step 2.
Rinse and drain the soaked cashews. In a blender, combine the cashews, full-fat coconut milk, strawberries, grated ginger, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract or vanilla bean seeds, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth and creamy.
-
Step 3.
Pour the blended 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 slightly. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a lidded container, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Refrigerate for a few hours until completely cool.
-
Step 4.
Once the mixture is chilled, churn it in the ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. 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.
