Ingredients
- 2 cups Frozen cherries
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 5 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 3 tablespoons Raw cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chunks or chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Add the frozen cherries, coconut milk, pitted Medjool dates, cacao powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Step 2
Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula a few times to ensure everything blends evenly.
Step 3
Taste the mixture and adjust for sweetness, adding another date or a small splash of maple syrup if desired.
Step 4
If including dark chocolate chunks, fold them into the blended ice cream mixture using a spatula.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or freezer-safe container, smoothing out the surface.
Step 6
Freeze for 2-3 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.
Step 7
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Step 8
Serve in bowls or cones, and enjoy immediately!
