Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Process your ingredients, minus colorants, together until smooth
Divide in half
Stir in blue spirunila powder into one half
Stir in 2 tsp dragonfruit juice (I had frozen dragonfruit that I muddled to get juices out). You can also use .5-1 tsp of dragonfruit powder or freeze dried raspberry powder
Pour into ice cube tray or silicone mini muffin liner and freeze for 3hours or until firm to touch
Blend each color into thick and creamy
Alternately dolllop blue and pink dollops of ice cream into a 9x5 loaf tin, give a gentle swirl (not too much or you'll blend into purple), and place in the freezer another 3+ hours
Scoop and enjoy!
Keep stored, covered in the freezer
If thawed for 10min it's more soft serve consistency, or more ice cream like if eaten right out of the freezer

Notes

Coconut cream is just the thick part- do not use the watery coconut milk if not dairy free you can use heavy cream in place of the coconut cream can use sunbutter or even frozen banana in place of the cashew butter
