For the base

3/4 cup cashews
1 tablespoon agave
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon desiccated coconut

- Grind all ingredients in a food processor.

- Press into 2 small individual cup or cake moulds of your choice that has been lined with plastic wrap.

- Dehydrate for approximately 3 hours until the shells are strong enough to hold together without the case, and then remove from the case to dry for a further 6 hours or overnight.

 

For the filling

1/2 cup cashews
3 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch salt
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon agave
1/2 cup cherries*, stones removed
1/2 cup mango, flesh only

*You can substitute cherries for any other fruit, such as pineapple or bananas, depending on what you like and what’s available in season.

- Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender under smooth, it’s nice to have some chunks of mango or cherry stirred in at the end so you get little bursts of flavour.

- Pour into an ice-cream maker or freeze in a tub, if doing the latter then once frozen pass through a juicer with the homogenizing attachment on.

- Fill the shells with the ice-cream and garnish with slices of mango. Easy!

    Beautiful!
    Congratulations!

    Hi there! I totally admire vegetarians and raw foodies like you since you could maintain healthy eating all throughout. I’m also planning to eat healthier, so I wanna ask tips from people like you on how to get started wating healthier. One of my concerns about raw food eating is you need to get a dehydrator. I can’t find oone in our local mall (I live int he Philipines), so what other alternatives could you suggest? I hope you’ll take time to repond to this, because I admire people like you who can resist meat without the hassles. BTW, I changed my blog address to http://www.justsweeterthansugar.blogspot.com Feel free to visist ir anytime ;) Thank you and keep posting ;)

    From Russell: Hi Abby, I have heard of people using their ovens on the lowest temp with the door open in place of a dehydrator, maybe you could try that?

    Hi Russell,

    I was so excited to make this after doing two of your courses (london & bognor) and was gutted that all the green star juicer did was melt it back to liquid again!

    It took me over an hour to chop it up after been frozen!

    I put the blank on the green star juicer and wonder what I’m doing wrong?!

    From Russell: Hi Niki, sounds like you left it out to thaw for too long before cutting. You should only need to leave it out for 10 mins before cutting. Then use a knife dipped in hot water to cut easily. that way when it goes through the Green Star it will still be solid. It can then be re-frozen again for use later.

    I notice that you use coconut oil in many of your recepies. I have some coconut butter already purchased. Is there any way I could substitute that instead of the oil?

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James Raw Food

    Coconut butter is more fibrous than coconut oil – the oil is just the fat, so they don't work in entirely the same way.

  • Avshaws

    would it be possible to substitute macadamia nuts for the cashews?

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James

    Yes.

  • Docaddix

    this sounds so yummy, I can’t wait to get this made.

  • Marion

    This sounds so lovely. When my cherries and mangoes grow I’ll definitely make it. Thank you very much :)

  • Bluenilesalon

    It is a lovely recipe

  • Kathy

    Thank you for this great recipe , sounds super also love that it calls for only a few “common  ingredients ” that aren’t too costly or difficult to find . So happy you shared this , thanks.

  • Cathy

    This looks delicious but I don’t have an ice-cream maker or a juicer with homogenizing attachment. Is there any way around this?
    Thanks.

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James

    Not really as you need some way of freezing the ice-cream so that it doesn’t form ice crystals.  Ice-cream makers can be purchased pretty cheap though.

  • Penny

    This looks so refreshing  Russell, can’t wait to try it, and Thank You so much for all the  sharing of your creative recipes, you have a wonderful Heart.   hugs and kisses

    What an amazing recipe!!! For sure I’ll try to do this at home! Thanks James for these beautiful recipes!  

  • Colleen

    You do amazing work and I love your homestudy courses and all the recipes you post.  My only comment would be to ditch the plastic wrap.  I’m not a fan of plastic, especially heated even if it’s just in the dehydrator.

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James

    Hi Colleen, it’s a good point.  I actually don’t have plastic wrap in my kitchen anymore because of the chemicals on it, so none of the recipes that I’ve done for a while use it.

    Thanks for your comment! :)

  • Heather @Gluten-Free Cat

    Is it too early to put “ice cream maker” on the Christmas list?  Deliciously amazing, as usual.  Can’t wait to make those shells!

  • http://www.therawchef.com Russell James

    No too early at all! :)
