Cashew Coconut Nice Cream

I just found my new favorite nice cream recipe! This nice cream is creamy, lightly sweet, and satisfies that ice cream craving without too much indulgence. Unlike regular ice cream, nice cream is made by creaming frozen bananas until they reach a smooth ice cream-like consistency. This recipe makes it even better by adding in cashew butter for extra-creaminess and a sweet/salty combo that tastes too good to be healthy!

Servings 6

Ingredients

2 bananas, sliced, frozen
1 13.5 oz can full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup cashew butter
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

1/2 cup cashews, roasted, chopped

Instructions

Add all ingredients except the Optional Add-into a food processor or blender: bananas, coconut milk, cashew butter, honey and vanilla.
Blend until smooth. Periodically scrape down the sides of the blender/processor.
Pour into a freezer-friendly container with a lid. Cover and place into the freezer.
Freeze for 1 hour. Then, if using, fold in chopped cashews - the ice cream mixture will be thickened and creamy - this will prevent the cashews from sinking to the bottom.
Freeze for an additional 2-5 hours, until firm. If enjoying the next day or later, allow to thaw for about 30-60 minutes at room temperature, or until soft enough to scoop.
