  1. Blend/grind Cashews into a flour-like consistency.
  2. Blend ground Cashews and Coconut Cream until smooth.
  3. Drain Dates, then blend all ingredients, except the Coconut Oil, until smooth.
  4. Add Coconut Oil and blend again.
  5. Add Ice as needed and blend. And/or add a little Spring Water if becomes too thick to blend.
  6. Only mix the Peppermint oil into the ice-cream in a glass or ceramic bowl/container. The potency of Essential Oils can leach materials (such as plastic) into food.
Recipe Notes

*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:

-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove 

 -Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide.

- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.

 -Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative. 

-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water. 

-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).

  • 4 large Cos Lettuce leaves (or gluten-free wraps - be sure to choose a gluten-free wrap free from soy, corn or other GMO ingredients unless certified organic)
  • 1 small handful Coriander leaves
Instructions
  1. Nut Mince: Pulse Walnuts roughly in a blender or food processor. Add Sun-dried Tomatoes and pulse again until combined.
  2. Nut Mince: Finely chop/mash Garlic, and finely chop the Brown Onion and add this along with the remaining ingredients and pulse/process until combined.
  3. Guacamole: Mash Avocados and add the juice of the Lemons / Limes and mix through.
  4. Guacamole: Chop Tomatoes, Red Onion, Chillies, Coriander and finely chopped Garlic and mix together.
  5. Guacamole: Add Sea Salt and Lemons / Limes juice to taste (add more if needed).
  6. Cashew Sour Cream: Grind the Cashew Nuts into a flour-like consistency, using a blender (with grinder attachment - see description above).
  7. Cashew Sour Cream: Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. You can add a little more Nut Milk for a thinner consistency.
  8. To make Wraps: Layer Nut Mince, Guacamole and Cashew Sour Cream onto Cos Lettuce leaves. Optional - top with fresh chopped Coriander.
Recipe Notes

*Choose Sun-dried Tomatoes that don’t have preservatives or additives and which come jarred in clean oils like Sunflower Seed Oil, good quality cold-pressed Olive Oil etc - avoid Canola Oil which is GMO.

Making your own Sun-dried Tomatoes is actually not as difficult as it seems, you only need good time management in terms of planning ahead and making them at least a few days before you need them in a recipe. I make a big batch and store them in oil in a sealed glass jar in the fridge and they last over a month! Find the recipe here

*You can use a few regular tomatoes instead of baby tomatoes in the Guacamole - I just love the sweetness of baby tomatoes. The redder the tomatoes, the better they taste.

*Tomatoes are on the EWG - Environmental Working Group’s ‘Dirty Dozen’ list which makes them highly sprayed with pesticides. Use organic/spray-free Tomatoes or if you really can’t find any, give the Tomatoes a bath in White Vinegar water (¼ cup White Vinegar mixed with 2-3 cups of water) to help remove as much pesticide residue as possible.

*Store left over Nut Mince, Guacamole and Cashew Sour Cream in a sealed glass jar in the fridge. Eat within 1-2 days.

Serving Suggestions:

*Another nice addition to these lettuce wraps as a topping is the Mexican Tomato Salsa
