Ingredients
FOR THE COOKIE DOUGH
40 g cashew butter
40 g plain flour
40 g maple syrup
40 g dairy-free chocolate chunks or chips
FOR THE NICE CREAM
450 ml unsweetened almond milk
100 g soft dates, roughly chopped
50 g cashew butter
2 tsp. 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.
