Cherry Garcia Nice Cream is a delightful vegan frozen dessert made with frozen cherries, bananas, and dark chocolate, blended into a creamy, naturally sweet treat. This dairy-free, no-churn recipe offers a refreshing way to enjoy fruit and chocolate in a healthy, guilt-free way.

Ingredients

Fruit Base

  • 2 Cups Frozen Cherries
  • 2 Cups Frozen Bananas (Not super ripe!)

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ Cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk (or any non-dairy milk)
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Add-ins

  • ¼ Cup Dark Chocolate (chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut bananas into small discs before freezing for easier blending. Allow frozen fruit to sit at room temperature briefly to soften slightly.
  2. Blend Base: Add frozen cherries (reserve about ⅓ cup for later), frozen banana slices, coconut milk, and vanilla extract into a blender or food processor. Blend, stirring every 20 seconds, until smooth and creamy, which may take a few minutes.
  3. Add Cherry Chunks: Add the reserved frozen cherries and pulse a few times to mix them in as chunky pieces.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate: Add dark chocolate and pulse a few times to fold in without overblending, preserving the chocolate chunks.
  5. Freeze to Set: Scoop the nice cream into three small cups and place in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up before serving. Enjoy immediately after or keep frozen!

Notes

  • Nutrition facts depend on the ripeness of bananas and type of chocolate used.
  • Leaving fruit out to soften for a few minutes helps speed blending.
  • If the mixture is too soft, add extra frozen banana chunks to thicken.
  • Reserve some cherries to add texture. If forgotten, add more after blending.
  • Use low blender speed initially, then gradually increase.
  • See full recipe post for tips and photos.
