Instructions

Directions

  • If using an ice-cream maker then be sure to follow the instructions for your particular product.  Mine requires the bowl to be placed in the freezer for 24 hours before preparing this recipe.
  • In a medium sauce pot, whisk in the coconut milk and honey on low-medium heat and bring it to a simmer. Ladle out ½ cup of the mixture into a separate small bowl and whisk in the arrow root flour until dissolved, then pour it back into the main pot and whisk until well combined. Cook on a low simmer for 5 min. Transfer mixture into a glass bowl to fully cool for about 30-45 min.
  • In a high speed blender (I used a Vitamix) add in your coconut milk mixture, cashews, acai, banana, vanilla, sea salt and mint. Blend on high until silky smooth (roughly 30 sec).
  • Pour blended mixture into your ice-cream maker and churn for 25-30 min until you reach your desired texture.
  • You can enjoy straight away or transfer into an air tight container or ice cream tub and keep in the freezer until ready to eat. I would recommend consuming within a month for the recipe to keep its freshness.
  • Once you’re ready to serve, top your acai bowl ice cream with some homemade granola and sliced up fresh fruit and you’re ready to go!
