Cookies n Cream Nice Cream

Double chocolate cookie recipe:

First you need to grind almonds to make almond meal.

Place in blender:
1 cup almond meal
1 cup cashews
6 pitted dates
2 tbs cacao powder
1/4 cup cacao nibs (I actually used more to mix in after pulsing in blender)
1 vanilla bean

*You could also use a sprinkle of salt, add dried coconut or dried berries for different flavours.

Pulse on blender or in food processor until cookie dough like consistency. Scoop out and form into little balls then use the palm of your hand to flatten. I left in freezer overnight to harden (could definitely use much sooner tho!).

Vanilla Nice Cream:

Blend half of a vanilla bean with 1/4 cup water. Then add 3-4 frozen bananas. I also pulsed in one “cookie”.

Serve with cookies on top, bottom or pulsed in to nice cream!

Enjoy!!!
