1

Make the caramel sauce

In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once the sugar has melted and turned golden brown, add 1/4 cup of vegan butter and stir until melted and well combined. Remove from heat and slowly pour in 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk, stirring continuously. Be careful as it may bubble up. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Set aside.

2

Prepare the ice cream base

In a blender, combine 2 cups of soaked cashews, 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.

3

Churn the ice cream

Pour the ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring every hour for the first 4 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming.

4

Swirl in the caramel

Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, drizzle half of the caramel sauce over it. Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the caramel into the ice cream. Save the remaining caramel sauce for serving.

5

Freeze and enjoy

Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Serve with a drizzle of the remaining caramel sauce and a sprinkle of sea salt. Enjoy this decadent salted caramel vegan ice cream!
