3/4 c cashew nuts
1/2 c cooked brown rice (when I have leftover rice I freeze it and then use it in this recipe)
1/2 c pitted dates
1/2 c honey or fruit juice sweetener
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
2 c water
1 tray ice cubes, about 3 handfuls
2-4 T cocoa
Blend all the ingredients except ice cubes in a blender until very smooth. May take up to two minutes. There should be no grittiness when a drop of misture is felt between your thumb and finger.
Add ice cubes and blend smooth(speeds up chilling time). Add more water as needed to make 5 cups total mix.
Pour into shallow container and freeze. Whe ready to use, thaw slightly until just soft enough to cut into squares. Place in a blender with enough soy or almond milk or water to blend into the consistency of soft ice cream)
Spoon into containers as soon as the mix is done.
Hint; This will harden more int eh freezer than store bought hight fat brands. To serve, thaw slightly in the microwave or throw in the blender with a little water or milk.
