Print Recipe

Equipment

• Food processor or thermomix

Ingredients

Ice-cream

• 3 frozen bananas

• 1 cup frozen raspberries

• 1 cup coconut cream

• 1/2 cup dried cranberries try to find sugar and preservative free cranberries

Raw Biscuit

• 1 cup cashews

• 10 medjool dates

• 1 1/2 tbsp butter, grass fed

• 4 tbsp raw cacao powder

Instructions

• Peel and freeze 3 bananas the day before (i always keep bananas frozen in the freezer).

• Add cashews to the food processor and blitz until roughly chopped.

• Add all other biscuit ingredients to the food processor and blitz to combine to make a smooth mixture.

• Line a tray with baking paper. Spread the mixture over a tray, pressing with your hands. Make it resemble a pizza base in thickness.

• Place into the freezer for approximately 2 hours to set.

• Wash and dry the food processor.

• All all ice-cream ingredients into the food processor. Blizt until it resembles ice-cream.

• Scoop the mixture out and place it into the egg rounds (or round cookie cutters). I only have 4 egg molds, so I do it in two rounds. The leftover ice-cream that doesn't fit, goes back onto the freezer until the other ice-cream is set and I can then use the egg molds again. Freeze until firm.

• When the ice-cream is set. Use a knife to scrape around the edges before pushing ice-cream cakes out.

• Once all of the ice-cream cakes are ready. Use the egg molds or cookie cutter to cut rounds in the raw biscuit mixture. Any left-over biscuit mixture can be rolled into balls and eaten as a bliss ball.

• To make the ice-cream sandwich's, place 1 biscuit on your plate, add one ice-cream round and then put another biscuit on top. Let the ice-cream melt slightly so you can bite through. Enjoy!
