Name of Recipe:Coffee Ice-cream
Number of People:The idea for this recipe came about from my love of Quirky Jo's Raw vegan Chocolate Mousse and my love for all things coffee flavoured.
Ingredients: 150g Raw Cashew
350g Ice cubes
100g Dates (I use dried, but you can use fresh)
2 Tablespoons Instant coffee granules mixed with approx 1-2 tablespoons hot water till dissolved.
15-20g maple syrup (optional, depending on your desire for sweetness)
1. Grind cashews speed 9 for 10 secs
2. Add ice and grind on speed 9 for 20 secs
3. Scrape down bowl then add Dates, Coffee and maple syrup if using. Mix on speed 9 for 30 secs. Scrape down sides and continue mixing
On speed 9 till smooth. I find this takes 1 and 1/2 to 2 mins. Pour into a container and pop in freezer to firm.
It will set hard, good idea to remove from freezer 1/2 hour before eating.
If you love coffee, you will enjoy this
Makes 1.2 litres.

JD - I tasted this at varying stages and just wasn't sure if I liked it or not. During all these tastings I did think it was a great alternative for DF people though. This morning, after it had been in the freezer overnight (didn't set too hard either as my fridge/freezer tends to keep ice-cream at just the right consistency for spooning) it tasted soooo much better so I can now honestly say it is very tasty and I have just enjoyed a dishful. Thanks for sharing with us Katj.

Sounds a nice one for when there is no cream in the fridge and you are out of ice-cream, like I've been for the last few days Katj. I hope to go shopping on the way home late this afternoon to get some more basics in but regardless of that, I'll give this a try later.

Yes Judy, give it a try, if you like coffee flavour, you won't be disappointed.
I like it because there is no cream or sugar in it. We try and stick to healthy recipes most of the time, hard though with all the great recipes on this forum.

Sounds great Katj. I love Jo's mousse and am sure I will love this too. Thanks for posting.

I've just churned a batch of this, will give it an hour or so in the freezer then give it the old taste test.

What a perfect dish to have for icecream Judy. I love it.

I have then put away for DD's birthday Cookie, just thought one would be nice to use for a photo on the forum. All packed away again now.
