If you do NOT have a Ninja Creami machine – no problem! Freeze this blended liquid concoction in ice cube molds. After freezing it just slightly defrost the cubes & churn (process) them in your food processor, your high powered blender, or try feeding slightly defrosted cubes thru your Yonanas machine.

Due to high amount of cashews I modified recipe as described on last paragraph. Plez scroll down to see healthier version!
- 3 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk, such as oat, cashew, almond, or soy, divided
- ¼ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raw cashews – If you don’t have a high speed blender, sub ½ cup raw cashew butter
- ⅔ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
Make the ice cream:
- In a small sauce pan, simmer oats in 1 cup of milk until soft, about 10 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl to cool.
- In a blender combine the remaining 2 cups of milk and the cashews. Blend on high until completely smooth. Add the cooled oatmeal, maple syrup, vanilla, salt and blend again. Refrigerate until cold.
- Churn the mixture according the instructions for your ice cream maker. At this point the ice cream will be softer than a typical soft serve consistency. Transfer it to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for about 4 hours.
- Around the 4 hour mark, and definitely once the ice cream has been in the freezer longer, it will be too hard to scoop right away. It’s important to let the oat ice cream soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.

HEALTHIER MODIFICATION:
2 C almond milk
1/4 C cashews
1/4 C rolled oats
3 Neglet Noor dates (more if you like it sweeter)
1 1/2 t vanilla (liquid or powder)
1/8 t salt
I did NOT cook anything. I blended in a high speed blender & froze in 2 Creami Breeze machine containers. Next day I churned it in the machine. Due to very low fat it was dry/crumbly. I churned, then respun, then added fresh (moist) chopped strawberries (for choco flavor I added little bit of cacao or hot chocolate powder, almond milk to make it less crumbly & walnuts) & respun w/ add-in button. The extra moisture made it all go dreamy-creamy!
