    This summery dessert has everything you love about Creamsicles, but in cake form! While the presentation makes it look like you’ve been working on this dessert for days, it actually requires very little effort. Best of all, this orange creamsicle ice cream cake is vegan and raw.

    This frozen cake is designed to be made in a springform pan so that the sides can be removed. Much like any ice cream cake, this recipe will melt when removed from the freezer.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
    • 1 cup peeled chopped orange
    • 1 ⁄2 cup untoasted cashews
    • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1 ⁄2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1 ⁄8 teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 1 1 ⁄2 cups fresh blueberries optional; see note
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan (or a standard pie plate or loaf pan) with parchment paper. Set aside.
    • Add all the ingredients to your blender except the blueberries. Blend until smooth, with a texture similar to a smoothie.
    • Add the blueberries to the blender (but do not blend). Stir gently to distribute the berries.
    • Pour the mixture into the pan. Smooth out with the back of a spoon.
    • Cover and freeze for at least 8 hours (and longer if possible), or until it is 
firm and you can cleanly slice it with a knife.
    • Once ready to eat, top with additional orange slices and blueberries, if 
desired, and then slice. Store in the freezer at all times.

    Note: Though this recipe can be made successfully without them, the suspended blueberries frozen in place add a nice touch from a presentation standpoint. You can also try fresh raspberries or sliced, pitted cherries instead. Whatever you suspend should be chopped quite small (blueberry size or smaller) and be low in water content, otherwise they could turn icy.

      3 stars
      I just made this cake; it's in the freezer now. My mix was much more liquid, not as airy as pictured and not as high as the one in the photo. Was I supposed to blend it in the vitamix for longer to get it thicker?

      The photo featured also looks darker on the bottom below the blueberries. Was a crust added?

      I'm concerned that it might be too icy, so I made a second batch that is a tad thicker, increasing the amount of cashews and cutting the vanilla, lemon juice and coconut milk a bit. I put that batch in the fridge and put the blueberries in the fridge in a separate container. When the first cake is frozen, I will blast the mix in the vitamix, add the blueberries and then pour it on top of the first batch.

      I'm giving it 3 stars, but will add stars if the final cake is better than expected.
