Clementine gelato
- 2 cups cashews
- 1/2 cup coconut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups almond milk
- 1 cup clementine juice
- 1 tsp clementine zest
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
Base
- In a food processor, first process cashews to flour.
- Add remaining ingredients and process again.
- Press into the bottom of a 9" Springfield pan and place in fridge whilst working on filling.
Filling
- Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
- Pour on top of the base.
- Place in the freezer to set. Once it’s set, the cheesecake can be moved to, and stored in, the fridge until ready to eat.
Clementine gelato
- Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth. Taste for sweetness; you may need to add extra agave if your clementines weren’t that sweet.
- Pour mixture into a rectangular container and place in the freezer to set. Once set, pass through a juicer with a homogenizing attachment on. Alternatively, you can pour the mixture (unfrozen) into an ice cream maker.
Notes
Almond milk is made by blending 1 cup of almonds with 3 cups of water and straining through a nut milk bag or fine-mesh sieve.
