Tree Nuts (Almonds)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Soak almonds in warm water for 30 minutes, then drain and rinse.
  2. Blend soaked almonds in a food processor until finely ground.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, honey, cardamom, lemon juice, and sea salt. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
  4. Gradually add the ground almonds into the saucepan, whisking continuously to prevent clumps from forming. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes or silicone molds.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until set.
