Ingredients

1 ¼ cup cashews, soaked
1 15 oz can lite coconut milk
½ cup sugar
¼ cup vanilla instant pudding
2 ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp salt
¾ cup animal crackers, crushed

Instructions

Before making this ice cream, make sure your ice cream maker has been in the freezer for at least 12 hours.
Begin by soaking the cashews in hot water for at least an hour, and up to 4 hours.
Once the cashews have softened, add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Place the mixture in the fridge for 1-2 hours, until cold. This will help create a better consistency when churning.
Churn the mixture for 40 minutes. Towards the last 5-10 minutes, add the crushed animal crackers and let churn for a final few minutes.
Enjoy immediately for a soft-serve texture. Or, add the mixture to a freezer-safe container and let freeze for 20 or so minutes for a more typical ice cream texture.
Optionally, top with more crushed animal crackers and enjoy!
