Salted Caramel & Pretzel Ice Cream

Dairy-free Ice cream is incredibly delicious but can have a downside when prepared without any gums or additives. It freezes rock solid and takes up to an hour to thaw before being able to serve. Well this delicious salted caramel & pretzel ice cream has none of that and is incredibly creamy no matter how long it’s been in the freezer. 

The reason for this is that it is prepared with date syrup and a date syrup based tahini caramel. Date syrup cannot fully freeze and therefore helps the ice cream to stay creamy and smooth at all times. 

Salted Caramel & Pretzel Ice Cream

How to 

The tahini caramel itself is probably the easiest vegan caramel you can prepare. Just heat maple syrup, date syrup, tahini, coconut oil and salt over low heat in a small pan and combine. Set aside to cool down before adding it into the cashew ice cream base. 

For the ice cream base you will need a high speed blender or a good food processor. Add soaked cashews, Edwards and Sons Native Forest Organic Unsweetened Simple Coconut Cream, maple syrup, salt and 1/4 cup of tahini caramel into your blender. Blend until completely smooth.

Salted Caramel & Pretzel Ice Cream

Pour ice cream mixture into your Ice cream maker and churn according to the machine’s instructions. This ice cream took about 15 minutes in the kitchen aid ice cream attachment.

Add crushed pretzels and combine with a spatula. Transfer half of the ice cream into a loaf pan. With a spoon, swirl 2 tbsp of tahini caramel into the ice cream. Add the rest of the ice cream on top and then repeat the process with the remaining caramel.

Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 6-7 hours before serving. ENJOY.

As always, if you happen to make this yummy ice cream, please let me know! I’d love to see how they turn out and don’t forget to tag @delight.fuel or simply comment below.
