Indulgent Coconut and Cashew Milk Ice Cream
This coconut and cashew milk ice cream is a dairy-free and vegan alternative to traditional ice cream. It's made with a blend of unsweetened coconut milk and cashew milk, and sweetened with maple syrup and agave nectar. The ice cream is also flavored with vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The result is a creamy and flavorful ice cream that's perfect for a hot summer day.
I've been making this ice cream for years, and it's always a hit with my friends and family. I originally developed the recipe because I was looking for a dairy-free and vegan ice cream that was still creamy and flavorful. I experimented with different combinations of plant-based milks, sweeteners, and flavors, and I finally settled on this recipe. I love the combination of coconut milk and cashew milk, and the maple syrup and agave nectar add the perfect amount of sweetness. The vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg give the ice cream a warm and inviting flavor.
