01
Blend Cashews and Fruit
Start by soaking the cashews in a bowl of water for a couple of hours, or up to three if you have the time. Once they’re soft, drain them well. Next, toss the soaked cashews into a blender along with the banana, ice cubes, tofu, dates, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a teaspoon of soy milk. Blend everything until it’s nice and smooth. If the mixture feels too thick to blend, add a little more soy milk—just enough to keep it creamy but still thick. Finally, fold in the cherries and chocolate chips by hand, then scoop the nice cream into a bowl and enjoy!

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
