STRAWBERRY CHIP CASHEW ICE CREAM (NO ICE CREAM MAKER REQUIRED!)
My love and appreciation for cashews continues to grow each and every day. They are just so versatile and can easily be used in creams and sauces in the same way heavy creams and dairy would be used. It’s unreal. Last week, I made a creamy tomato basil pasta recipe from the Oh She Glows cookbook that used cashews as the base for the cream sauce. The husband was none the wiser and that’s when I know it’s really good.
Last month, I introduced my first cashew ice cream with the Cinnamon Pecan Cashew Ice Cream and am very pleased to add another to the arsenal. In Cincinnati, we have Graeter’s Ice Cream. It’s ice cream made the real way and it is creamy and just unbelievable with big chunks of dark chocolate, pecans, and other add ins. This stuff is top notch. It’s a treat for sure, not something you would want to eat everyday, but worth every spoonful when you do!
Graeter’s has seasonal flavors throughout the year. My very favorite flavor at Graeter’s also happens to be a seasonal flavor. This is probably a good thing! Strawberry Chip is where it’s at if you ask me. Every summer, I am so excited to see it up on the list of flavors. The dark chocolate chunks and strawberries are no joke. It’s what summer should taste like!
