This recipe calls for Hazlenut milk but you could interchange other nut or seed milks. You can soak (in filtered wtaer) the following raw nuts and seeds to make milk: Almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, sunflower, pumpkin/pepitas, sesame, macadamia, pistachio, pine nuts, pecans, walnuts, peanuts and cashews
Soak macadamias, cashews, pistachio and pine nuts for 2-4 hours only
Soak the rest (including hazlenuts) overnight or all day with ½ tsp salt per cup of nuts/seeds
Once soaked, drain and rinse the nuts/seeds very wellCombine 1 cup of nuts/seeds (dry weight) to 1 litre of filtered water and blend for 90 secs on speed 9
Strain the mixture though a nut milk bag or fine cloth over a large bowl. You will need to massage the liquid out of the fibre; it’s messy but good fun! You can use the left over fibre in other recipes to save wastage, or try it as a face and body scrub.
The milk will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge in glass jars. If not using within that time, I suggest freezing it into ice cube trays. Once frozen, pop them out and keep in a labelled freezer bag or container.
You can flavour your nut and seed milks by adding cacao, sweetener, vanilla and/or spices. If using a vanilla bean, slice the bean longways and chop in half, blending it with the nuts/seeds from the beginning.
Add all ingredients with the hazlenut milk and blend for 30-60 secs on speed 9.
If you want to add greens such as spinach to make it a green smoothie - blend for 2 mins - you won't even know they are in there!

Tip
For the ice cream - use anything you desire, be it dairy or non-dairy or raw. My cashew/coconut raw vanilla icecream recipe is in this site here: //www.recipecommunity.com.au/node/17765 - just omit the cacao in this recipe for a vanilla oprtion. You can also get amazing non-dairy icecreams now including the brands CocoLucsious and Coyo.
This recipe combination tastes like a black forest cake, even without the cherries, its so decadent! You can also use cherries instead of blueberries.
