Chocolate Cashew Ice Cream (Vegan/ Paleo/ Gluten Free/ Dairy Free/ Refined Sugar Free)

Chocolate Cashew Ice Cream

With the dog days of summer in full swing, what are your kids asking for? I bet they want ice cream! Could you blame them? When I was a kid I used to love to hear the ice cream truck coming. You run to your room to break into your piggy bank, just so you can get some new yummy frozen treat. That is unless you can’t have traditional ice cream. Then you can feel left out.

I don’t like feeling left out. I do love enjoying treats. I love making new flavours and textures of frozen treats. This chocolate cashew ice cream is another delicious addition to my growing list of frozen treats! I hope you enjoy it!
