Maca Maple Ice Cream

Aug 17, 2016

With Chocolate Chips

Though this ice cream is perfect for warm weather‚ maca has a slight warming quality‚ making it a good pick for cooler days as well. You do not need a ice cream maker for this recipe‚ however‚ if you do not have access to a high powered blender (like a Vitamix‚ Blendtec‚ or even a Magic Bullet)‚ soak the cashews and water together for 30 minutes before blending for smoother results.
