Ingredients
FOR THE COOKIE DOUGH
40g
cashew butter
40g
plain flour
40g
maple syrup
40g
dairy-free chocolate chunks or chips
FOR THE NICE CREAM
450ml
unsweetened almond milk
100g
soft dates, roughly chopped
50g
cashew butter
2tsp.
vanilla bean paste
Directions
Step 1Start by making the cookie dough. Line a small baking tray with baking parchment. Mix the cookie dough ingredient with a pinch of salt. Pinch off rough 1tsp portions and position on the lined baking tray. Freeze until needed.
Step 2Next make the nice cream. Put all the ingredients in a high-speed blender with a pinch of salt and whizz until smooth and combined (this can take a while as the dates blend).
Step 3Empty the nice cream into a 900g loaf tin or freezer-safe container and freeze for 4hr, until nearly solid.
Step 4Break the nice cream into a food processor and pulse briefly to break up. Alternatively scrape into a bowl using a fork and whisk to break up. Return the nice cream to the tin/container and mix through the frozen cookie dough pieces. Freeze until solid, ideally overnight.
Step 5To serve, allow to soften at room temperature for 10min, before scooping.
