Equipment

  • 1 powerful blender such as Vitamix

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Cashews Soaked overnight
  • 1 Cup Soy milk
  • ¾ Cup Vegan salted caramel

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cashew Crème anglaise

  • Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
  • 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.

Mix in Vegan Salted Caramel

  • Add the vegan salted caramel into the blender and blend until well incorporated.

Chill the Mixture

    Without an ice cream maker

    • 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 approximately 4 hours of freezing.

    Optional: For Traditional Ice Cream Maker

    • Refrigerate the base until it is cold (half an hour).
    • Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the machine’s instructions (usually 20–30 minutes) until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
    • Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2–4 hours to achieve firm scoops.

    Optional: For Ninja Creamy

    • Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creamy pint container. Freeze until solid (12-14 hours or overnight).
    • When ready to eat, insert the frozen pint into the Ninja Creamy machine and select the Ice cream or gelato setting. Let it churn until the program is ending.
    • Enjoy!

    Notes

    I personally love using the Ninja Creamy for this recipe because it’s easy, convenient, and delivers smooth, creamy results every time. If you enjoy making homemade frozen treats often, I highly recommend investing in one — it’s a real time-saver!
