Equipment

  • Popsicle Mold

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted cashews (either roasted or raw)
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons lime juice (for the best results, use fresh or bottled juice that’s not from concentrate. If using fresh, you’ll need about 3 medium limes)
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or substitute sugar-free liquid sweetener to taste and increase the water accordingly to compensate for any missing liquid volume)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Add 1 1/2 cups unsalted cashews, 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt to a high-powered blender (see notes below for instructions if your blender is less powerful).
  • Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
  • Pour the mixture into a popsicle mold, dividing it evenly between 6 sections.
  • Add the popsicle sticks, then freeze for at least 5 hours or until firm.

Notes

  • If your blender is less powerful, soak the cashews in boiling water for 1 hour, then drain and discard the soaking liquid before adding the cashews to the blender.
