Ingredients
Blueberry sauce
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp tapioca or arrowroot starch/flour
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp water *Only if using fresh berries
Ice Cream
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup cashew butter
- 1/4 cup sweetener of choice (coconut sugar, monk fruit, maple syrup)
- 1 large vanilla bean, scraped *or 1 1/2-2 tsp vanilla
- pinch sea salt
Crumble topping
- 1/2 cup organic old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 tbsp almond flour *can sub coconut or oat flour or protein powder
- 3 tbsp shredded coconut *or chopped nuts
- 1 1/2 tbsp coconut sugar

Instructions
Ice cream
- Place all ingredients in a high powered blender, blending until smooth. Taste and adjust as you'd like .Pour into a glass container with a lid.
- Place in the freezer for an hour or two until it has firmed up a little.
Blueberry sauce
- While the ice creams in the freezer, make the sauce. Add the ingredients to a small saucepan and heat on the stove over medium heat.
- Let the mixture bubble, using a fork to mash some of the berries (some whole are okay! Adds texture!). Let cook 5 minutes until it has thickened up a bit. Set aside to cool.
Crumble
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
Putting it all together
- After the ice cream has been in the freezer for an hour or two, remove it from the freezer. Stir in the blueberry sauce and crumble. You don't have to use all of the blueberry sauce if you don't want it. I like to keep some extra to top it with when it's done!
- Place the ice cream back in the freezer for 4-6 hours until fully firm.
- When ready to eat, leave the ice cream out on the counter for 30-60 minutes. This allows it to thaw into ice cream-like texture. Scoop and enjoy!
