Açaí Ice Cream Bars
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup + 2 TBS raw honey (or pure maple syrup)
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the Açaí Ice Cream
- 1 (14oz) can full fat coconut milk
- 1 cup raw cashews (or 1/2 cup unsalted cashew butter)
- 1 cup frozen strawberries (or other berry)
- 200 grams (2 packets) frozen açaí
- 1/3 cup raw honey (or pure maple syrup)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- First, prepare the crust: add the almond flour, sweetener, and salt to a large mixing bowl and mix until thoroughly combined and a sticky crust begins to form.
- Next, line an 8×8 square baking dish with parchment paper and add the crust to the lined dish. Using a second sheet of parchment paper, gently press the crust down into the dish, making sure the crust covers the entire bottom of the dish. Set aside.
- Prepare the ice cream layer: add the coconut milk, cashews, frozen strawberries, frozen açaí, sweetener, and salt to a high speed blender and blend until a smooth and creamy consistency is reached.
- Once blended, pour the ice cream mixture over the prepared crust and place the bars in the freezer to harden overnight (or for at least 6 hours). Make sure the bars are set on an even surface in the freezer.
- After 6+ hours, remove the ice cream bars from the freezer. Let the bars thaw for 10 minutes before removing them from the dish.
- After removing the bars from the dish, slice and enjoy!
