Directions
Soak the cashews in water for a couple of hours—anywhere from one to three works fine. Once they’re nice and soft, drain them well. Next, throw the soaked cashews into your blender along with the banana, ice cubes, tofu, dates, mint extract, and a teaspoon of soy milk. Blend everything until it’s super smooth and creamy. If the mixture feels too thick to blend, add a little more soy milk, but keep it as thick as you can. Once smooth, fold in the chocolate chips by hand. Scoop the nice cream into a bowl and enjoy!
Best Pairings For This Dish
Serve this treat in bowls topped with fresh mint leaves, vegan chocolate chips, or crushed nuts for added crunch. It pairs beautifully with fresh berries or a drizzle of almond butter for extra flavor and texture.
How To Store For Later
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To soften before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes or blend again briefly to restore its creamy texture. Avoid refreezing after thawing to maintain the best consistency.
