Guilt-Free Nice Cream

Makes approx. 360 ml (12 fl oz)

175 g (6 oz/1 cup) Medjool dates • 40 g (1½ oz/¼ cup) cashews
250 ml (8½ fl oz) almond milk • 1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp coconut oil • ½ tsp sea salt

This really is the ultimate butterscotch caramel sauce using no refined sugars. Absolutely delicious drizzled on just about anything, from nice cream cakes to waffles, or just eaten straight off the spoon.

Remove the stones from the dates. Meanwhile, soak cashews in a bowl of freshly boiled water and leave for 30 minutes, then drain the water.

Add the dates and cashews to a blender with the remaining ingredients, and blend until smooth and creamy. This keeps happily in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
