Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soak raw cashews in hot water for about 15-20 minutes to soften them. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a blender, combine frozen mango chunks, coconut milk, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. In the same blender, add drained cashews, banana, coconut cream, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a dash of sea salt. Blend until smooth.
  4. In a freezer-safe container, pour half of the mango base, spoon dollops of the banana-cashew swirl, and swirl together. Repeat layering.
  5. Cover securely and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
  6. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Scoop and garnish with toppings.
