Yes! You read correctly. BETTER than ice cream.
Since I am horrible at measuring, I can't give exact stats.
Basically:
About 1 C dry raw cashews soaked for 6 hours
Rinsed
Added to the VitaMix:
about 4 C spring water
a good dash of cinnamon
Five large dates that have also soaked in spring water (but use the water)
Raw honey to taste (or agave)
A tad amount of vanilla
Blend away and enjoy!
Best served cold.
YUM in a thrifted glass!
oh my!! I'm totally going to try this with my kids. Wish me luck!!
ReplyDelete(have you ever tried agave syrup? wondering if I could use that instead of honey?)
HA! Someone read it!
ReplyDeleteYou bet!
I was dropping my son off at school and went d'oh - agave!!!! Or sorghum syrup. Or palm sugar. Or just dates. I try not to use too much honey but find it has some great healing powers if used in moderation and respect for the little bees that produced it. :)))
Okay, now feel free to add or subtract what you like. Add ice. Add less water. Add less sweetner. Add more. The options are endless. One could use young Thai coconut water instead of spring water, too.
You could add raw maca for yourself (though, it is strong tasting). Or raw cocoa.
Sorry. Please keep in mind you have the leader of adult ADD here. So, I get distracted and have a difficult time organizing.
ReplyDeleteI just made it and thought - "YUM! I have no real idea what I am doing but I will post this because I never write anything down."
I hope you like it. As I said before, there is room to make it work for you. Raw cashews make great replacement for cream. I even had a raw cashew humus that I am wanting to make.
Anyway, thank you so much for stopping by!
