What You’ll Need
1/2 medium avocado, cubed and frozen
1 cup raw macadamia nuts, soaked for 8-12 hours
1 can coconut milk, chilled, cream only
1/3 cup black sesame seeds
1/2 cup cashew nut milk
2 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup*
Sea salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
What You’ll Need To Know
1. Soak the macadamia nuts in cold water for 8-12 hours or in your refrigerator overnight.
2. Refrigerate a can of coconut milk overnight. Once ready to use, scoop out the cream only and place in high-speed blender.
3. Add the avocado, macadamia nuts, black sesame seeds, maple syrup, cashew nut milk, a pinch of sea salt, and vanilla and blend at a high speed. (I used a Nutribullet for this.)
4. Pour the mixture into a pastry bag and freeze for 20-30 minutes to create a soft served consistency. Add the attachment to the pastry bag and serve as a topping on your smoothie or in a bowl on its own or with fruit!
* If you’re on a ketogenic diet, substitute the maple syrup for stevia
