Cashew Banana and Berry Ice Creams
2 cups raw cashews, soaked 4 hours in water
2 medium bananas (very ripe ones)
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 cup berries
3 Tbsp. melted coconut oil
Method:
Drain and rinse your cashews.
Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until very smooth.
Taste the mix. If you want it sweeter, add 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (I didn't add this) and blend again.
Optional: Use an ice cream maker to prevent the formation of ice crystals.
Pour into ice cream moulds and insert Popsicle stocks.
Freeze overnight.
To remove from the moulds: If you use silicone moulds you can just push them gently out. If you use plastic molds: Fill a large cup with boiling water. Dip the mould into the water for 4 seconds, then easily pull the ice cream out. Repeat with each mould.
To decorate: Dip each ice cream in coconut milk and sprinkled with coconut.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer, and enjoy!
