What makes this Caribbean-Spiced? Freshly ground nutmeg from Grenada!
For my last birthday I was treated with an ice cream maker and I’m absolutely in love with it. It’s just 20 minutes from when I flip the switch on until I have smooth & dreamy ice cream. Don’t have an ice cream maker? No problem! You can store your liquid mixture into a freezer-safe container for 1 hour! Now you have absolutely no excuses to not make your own!

Ingredients:
- 2 Cups raw cashews, soaked overnight
- 1 Cup water + more as needed
- 1 Cup raw agave nectar
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- dash of salt
Directions:
- In your blender, add your cashews and water and blend until smooth & creamy (if your mixture is too thick, add 1 Tablespoon of water & blend and repeat until desired consistency is reached).
I moved my mixture into a large mixing bowl. Mix in your agave nectar, nutmeg, dash of salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until fully incorporated.
- If you have an ice cream maker, add it to your mixer & prepare your ice cream per instructions.
If you don’t, pour it into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 hour. -
Enjoy eating whole!

Looks delicious! Have you tried ice cream using almonds? We may have to get an ice cream maker. I can’t believe that I hadn’t thought about using any milk other than cow’s milk for ice cream!
Thank you! That sounds like a great idea (however, I’m allergic to almonds!). The cashews in this recipe make this a creamy, rich-tasting gelato. Absolutely superb! I’m on a little cashew binge (testing different cheeses, milks, creams) & falling in love with them all over again!
Oh, this looks soooo good! I really, really want an ice cream maker, but I’m going to give this a try without one. 🙂
It’s super easy without one! Just make sure you check on your mixture in one after placing it in the freezer (it should still be a little soft at this time). It used to be my method before the ice cream maker days ;).
