Ingredients
2 cups raw cashews, soaked overnight and drained
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
2½ tablespoons bourbon
¾ cup cane sugar
¼ cup natural peanut butter
2 scoops dairy-free ice cream scoops
chocolate sauce
½ cup additional almond milk for serving
Directions
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly under cold water to remove excess liquid.
In a high-speed blender, combine the drained cashews, almond milk, peanut butter, cane sugar, and bourbon. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. If the blender struggles, add up to 1/4 cup more almond milk to help the blades move freely.
Pour the blended mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-30 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-3 hours until it reaches a firm, scoopable texture.
To serve, scoop 2 scoops of the peanut butter bourbon ice cream into each glass. Drizzle generously with chocolate sauce and pour 1/4 cup of almond milk over the top.
Stir gently with a spoon until the ice cream melts and the drink becomes creamy, or blend in a blender for a completely smooth milkshake consistency.
Comments
All ingredients are stocked at any Charlotte grocer—cashews, almond milk, bourbon, peanut butter, and vanilla ice cream are standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart. The stated 45 minutes is wildly off; this is a five-minute blend-and-serve dessert, not a weeknight project. At roughly $2.50 per serving driven mainly by bourbon and ice cream, it's a splurge drink rather than an everyday treat, but the cost is transparent and proportional to what you're getting. This is a same-night dish with no leftovers appeal—make it fresh, drink it cold—and it suits an adults-only gathering or special occasion far better than a family weeknight.
