Açaí Ice Cream Pie

Ingredients:

  • 400g natural biscuits with a neutral flavor (e.g. oatmeal with honey)
  • 3 tablespoons of açaí oil
  • 2 cups of raw, unsalted cashew nuts, soak for 6 hours
  • 200g pure Açaí pulp
  • 2/3 cup demerara sugar
  • ½ cup of water
  • 1 teaspoon of natural vanilla essence
  • 1 lemon, juice and zest

Method of Preparation:

  1. To make the Crumble, break the cookies with your hands until they crumble, do not let them turn into dust. Mix with açaí oil and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until crispy. You can add spices, if you’d like.
  2. In a blender, blend the hydrated cashew nuts (discard the soaking water), water, lemon juice, açaí pulp and sugar. When it is homogeneous, place it in the freezer for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  3. In small serving bowls or individual serving cups, place a layer of crumble, a layer of ice cream, a layer of crumble, and a layer of ice cream. The last layer should be crumble and lemon zest.
  4. Place in the freezer for another 20 to 40 minutes and serve.
