  • Serves 6 280g cashew nuts, soaked for 4 hours or overnight and then drained
  • 100ml water
  • 4 frozen ripe bananas, chopped
  • 1 splash vanilla extract
  • 140ml maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp cacao nibs (available in most health stores) or a litle bit of chopped up dark chocolate

You’ll need a good blender for this. Place the soaked, drained cashew nuts in the blender along with the 100ml water and blitz till smooth.

Add the frozen banana bits, the vanilla extract, maple syrup and olive or coconut oil and blitz again; it will thicken nicely.

Add the nibs and give one final blast to evenly distribute them.

Decant the whole lot into a plastic container and freeze for a few hours or overnight.
