Mint chocolate chip is an absolute classic in the ice cream world. The flavour combination just works so well, there’s no point trying to change it. However the method of making it, and the ingredients involved, can definitely be changed. This ice cream is raw, vegan, grain free, and refined sugar free. It involves only a few wholesome ingredients (no nasty green food colouring!) that can easily be found in supermarkets and health food shops. Unlike conventional ice cream this will leave you feeling nourished and full, without further sweet cravings, so it’s a perfect way to treat yourself in a healthy way! No ice cream maker is required here; just a blender or food processor and a freezer.

1. Blend the cashews and water until almost smooth. This could take a while depending on the strength of your blender, so make sure to regularly scrape down the side of the blender

2. Add the rice syrup, spirulina, and peppermint extract, and blend until completely smooth

3. Stir in the Cacao Superfood Nibs, then place in a shallow container wrapped in foil

4. Freeze, stirring every hour or so for a smoother creamier consistency

5. Take out of the freezer about 20-30 minutes before scooping
