This is a gooey, and creamy cake and is the perfect dairy-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free treat you can offer your kids this summer. Although it is a bit more tedious than most of my recipes, I promise you it is worth it! This cake brings you back to basics with beautiful fresh ingredients, and it sure makes a difference when you first bite into that cake. There is something to be said about eating something you made, and this will totally blow your mind!

As mentioned above this vegan ice cream cake is made with whole foods, raw ingredients, and no added sugar! This is real guys. Additionally, this cake can be cut into squares depending on how you choose to enjoy it.

Instructions

1. Over night prep for Ice Cream:
2. Put your Ice Cream Maker Insert into the freezer overnight.
3. Next Day:
4. Set aside an 8×8 baking tray, and line it with parchment paper.
5. The Base:
6. Into a food processor add your dates, and pulse for 10 seconds.
7. Add the rest of your ingredients into your food processor. Blend for 10 seconds, or until your mixture ends up in one big lump in the processor.
8. Transfer your base from the processor into your 8×8 tray, and pat down evenly. Put in the freezer to set!
9. Ice Cream – the base of the mixture:
10. Into a blender add your cashews, macadamia nuts, coconut meat, coconut water, coconut nectar, salt and vanilla. Blend till smooth.
11. Add the coconut oil, and blend till smooth.
12. Plug in your ice cream maker and let it work for around 20 minutes, or until firm and ready!
13. If you do not have an ice cream maker then put your mixture into a bowl, and put into the freezer. Stir every 30 minute for around 3-4 hours before it is ready!
14. Once your Ice Cream is ready split it into two different bowls. Into one bowl add your Cacao, and Chocolate.
15. Put one of these flavours on top of the Base layer, and then freeze for around 10 minutes.
16. Put your other flavour into the freezer until it is time to add your last layer.
17. Once 10 minutes has passed you can add your last layer, and let it sit in the freezer for at least two hours before serving!
18. You can serve up as a cake, as bars, or as squares! The possibilities are endless.
19. I would like to thank @imlauramiller for Ice Cream Base Inspiration, you are truly an amazing woman!
