Vegan chocolate cherry ice cream recipe

Makes 6–8 servings

1 1/2 cups almond milk or soy milk
3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder or Carob Powder
3/4 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup cashews
2 tsp vanilla
4 cups frozen cherries

In a high-powered blender, blend first 5 ingredients until smooth. Soak nuts and dates in milk for several hours before if needed to soften. Add cherries and blend to ice cream. It is easier to do in two batches. If you don’t have a strong blender, thaw the cherries (or use fresh) and blend until smooth and freeze in an ice cream freezer.
