Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Ingredients

  • 2 cups oat cream I used Oatly's Creamy Oat
  • 100 ml raw sugar
  • two dashes ceylon cinnamon
  • two dashes cardamom
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • ½ cup soaked cashews (pre-soaked for about 5 hours) rinsed and drained

Cinnamon Chunks/Swirl

  • 18-20 fresh dates - if they're dry, soak them in water first
  • ¾ tbsp fresh ceylon cinnamon
  • ½ tsp cardamom
  • 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • little pinch sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Add the oat cream, spices and sugar to a saucepan on medium heat and mix in the corn starch. Stir and cook. Let simmer until the mixture has thickened.
  • Mix in the vanilla and salt until completely dissolved and combined.
  • Mix the cashews together to a silky smooth cashew cream in a blender. Then mix the cashews in with the oat mixture together in the blender.
  • Let the ice cream mixture cool before pouring into an ice cream machine. 
  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor for the cinnamon swirl. When it’s smooooth and creamy, it's ready. Place in the fridge to let it cool so it doesn't melt your ice cream.
  • Pour the ice cream mixture into an ice cream machine and let it churn until the machine doesn't mix anymore.
  • Now it totally depends how your ice cream machine works. You can either add the cinnamon date swirl about halfway of the churning program when it's frozen to the consistency of soft serve ice cream, or you can simply spread it out over the ice cream once you've transferred it into a freezer safe container, it's a personal preference really. If it's too much cinnamon filling, any leftovers from the cinnamon filling you can save for snacks! I had a bit over for snacks! No problems there hehe!
  • Once the churning program is complete, either serve immediately or transfer the ice cream to a freezer safe container to let the ice cream freeze up further.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight freezer safe container.
  • Enjoy!!
