As creamy as a thick mousse, this indulgent ice cream is made decadent with cashew and almond milk.
By Carmen Sturdy
This ice cream is outrageously good. Every spoonful feels like the height of decadence with its smooth and creamy consistency that tastes just like frozen mousse.
If you are currently reading this post while looking out your window at a winter wonderland don`t brush this off as something to make once the weather is warmer. I really like serving ice cream during the winter months as I find it to be a welcome refreshing dessert after a heavy meal (and there are more then enough of those this month!)
If using shots of espresso try to make them as strong as possible to maximize the flavor, and if after blending it is too strong for your liking you can always add more honey.
