Description
A delicious, non-dairy nice cream made with a mix of cherries and chocolate chunks blended with bananas. This is my vegan version of Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia. It’s an easy no-churn ice cream or soft serve ready in minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 frozen bananas, cut into 1 inch chunks
- 1 1/2 cups cherries, pitted and frozen (divided)
- splash of unsweetened plant milk (plain or vanilla) or Vegan Cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla, optional
- scant 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks (70% +), cacao nibs or raw chocolate chips
Instructions
Place banana chunks, 1 cup cherries, and a splash of milk into a blender/food processor and blend until just combined, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add another splash of milk to help the mixture move (especially if using a blender).
Add in the chocolate and the remaining 1/2 cup of cherries, pulse until just combined.
Serve immediately as a soft serve or freeze for later and serve as hard ice cream.
Makes about 2 cups.
Serves 4 small portions or 2 generously.
Notes
Freeze: Place the ice cream in a sealed container and freeze for at least 6 hours. It will last for up to 2 months. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes, scoop and serve.
It helps to freeze your serving bowl beforehand if possible. It will keep your soft serve chilled a bit longer.
If you don’t want any chocolate chunks, try adding 1 heaping teaspoon of raw or dark cocoa powder instead.
