Who would think a diet meant to lose baby fat would include ice cream? Dannii Minogue has reportedly kicked up her already healthy eating routine to a notch where there’s only room for organic food and lots of nuts and vegetables six weeks after giving birth to her son, Ethan.

Instead of denying herself something sweet, a source says she enjoys vegan ice cream made from nuts.

“She makes vegan ice cream out of cashews and agave syrup, so she’s got that when she needs something sweet.”

It’s no secret that nuts, soaked in water, blended, creamed and mixed with spices and seasonings, give rise to a multitude of vegan foods like cheese and cream. Vegetarian Star found a recipe for ice cream fashioned from cashews that involves the following ingredients:

• 1 Cup cashews (no need to soak)

• 1 1/2 Cup water

• 1/3 Cup raw agave

• 1/4 tsp salt (+/-)

• 1/3 Cup raisins (this is what adds a buttery flavor)

• 1 vanilla bean

• 1-2 Tbsp Cacao butter or Coconut oil or young coconut meat

These ingredients are mixed in a Vitamix or food processor for a couple of minutes, then poured into a sprout bag to separate the bigger pieces of nuts and vanilla bean from the mixture. This is also a chance to add some of your favorite flavors to the cream like fruit.

Put the mixture in the refridgerator for a few hours or freezer for 10-15 minutes, being careful not to allow frozen particles to get on the cream. Remove and place in an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s instructions.

One member in the Give It To Me Raw community forum suggested that if you don’t have an ice cream maker, put the mixture into ice cube trays, freeze and blend in the Vitamix or food processor again.
