Blender Ice Cream

1 cup cashew nuts
½ cup soft chopped dates
½ cup honey
½ tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
4 cups water

Rice Milk or Soy Milk
Cocoa Powder to taste

DIRECTIONS
Place all ingredients in the blender with 2 cups of the water.  Blend for about 2 minutes until very smooth. (High powered blender is needed, i.e. Vita-mix).

Add remaining 2 cups of water and pour about 1 inch deep into cake pans or similar.  Place in freezer overnight.

When ready to serve, or about 1 hr. before, remove from freezer, cut into squares that can be blended easily.

Place a small about of milk into the blender and slowly add the cut squares one at a time while they blend.  Keep adding frozen squares (and milk if needed) until the consistency of soft ice cream. Add Cocoa powder if desired.  Serve immediately or pour out in individual servings and store in freezer for about an hour if necessary until ready to use.
