Guidelines

Prepare the Cashew Crème anglaise

• In the blender, combine the soaked cashews and the cup of soy milk.
• Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, resembling a thick cream consistency.
• This is the vegan cashew Crème anglaise base that we will use to make this delicious ice cream.

Prepare the ice cream

• Combine the Cashew Crème anglaise with the rest of the ingredients adding them one by one in the following order:
• First ingredient that we will incorporate with the Crème is going to be the Black sesame paste (representing the fat component of the ice cream) and then blend on high speed until completely incorporated.
• Next we are going to add the maple syrup (sweet component) together with rest of the spices (salt and vanilla paste) and again blend until well incorporated.
• Taste and adjust the for extra sweetness if required.

Chill the Mixture:

• Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and place it in the freezer for 2 hours.
• To prevent ice crystals from forming and ensure a smooth ice cream like texture take out the container from freezer and mixt the ice cream with a vertical blender.
• Put the container back in the freezer and repeat again the procedure in the following two hours mixing with the vertical blender after each hour.
• Ice cream should have perfect consistency without churning after approximative 4 hours of freezing.
• If you let the ice cream more than 4 hours in the freezer let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.

Enjoy!

NOTES

One thing you need to keep in mind when adjusting for sweetness is that usually, cold frozen foods tend to numb your taste buds and ability to feel the sweet taste. That is why ice cream and frozen products require more sweetness in general. If you ever tasted melted ice cream, you probably realized its way sweeter than the original ice cream. So keep that in mind when adjusting for maple syrup or if you are wondering why I am using the quantity of maple syrup that I am using.
