In this video I’ll show you how to make a beautiful, delicious, refreshing ice cream using cashews with folded in pineapple, and shaped into a cake form. This raw food demo was recorded during my workshop at Mom Tri’s Villa Royale in Phuket, Thailand on January 24, 2010.
Pineapple Ice Box Dessert
(fills one loaf pan to make about 8 servings)
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups cashews
- 1 vanilla bean, scraped
- 2 Tablespoons honey or agave syrup
Filling
- 1 1/2 cups cashews
- 1/3 cup honey or agave syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, liquid
- 2 1/2 cup cored and chopped pineapple
Make crust by processing cashews into small pieces with vanilla. Add honey, and process to mix well. Sprinkle half of the crust mixture into bottom of a loaf pan,
To make filling, in high-speed blender, blend cashews with honey or agave and liquid oil into a smooth cream. Into a mixing bowl, toss cream with pineapple to mix well. Scoop into loaf pan. Top with remaining crust, and gently press down.
Freeze dessert overnight or until frozen.
Hi Ani,
Can I use chia seeds as a replacement of honey or agave to hold it together? I don’t want sugar or agave except truvia I’m okay with having for sweets, but that doesn’t hold the pie together. Thank you! Shoshannah

So simple and looks delicious! I can hardly wait to try it at home!
Is there any way to make this without the coconut oil ? I don’t like coconut at all …Thanks 🙂

Ani–This recipe looks interesting, and I’d like to try it, but my question is regarding the coconut oil. Whenever I try to use it in smoothies, all I get are “chunks” of coconut oil. I love coconut, but the chunks in the smoothie are just not tastey! I have a Vita Mix that I use. What else can I do?

This is my first time trying this out and instead of adding the chuncks later I blended the pinapple with the cream filling. It was sooooo good. It’s in the freezer, I can’t wai til tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any Pho has inspired me to be raw for the rest of my life. My kids helped me make this dessert and it is so inspiring. I can really be a raw foodist for life. Everything is so simple and I feel physically and mentally amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I meant Phyo.
Question about coconut oil; in this video Ani poured coconut oil like it was olive oil; I have only found coconut oil in paste form and that is all I see on Ani’s eshop site. Any direction where to purchase liquid coconut oil?
