- 4 cups sliced bananas frozen
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup frozen cherries
- ½ bar dark chocolate
- 3 tablespoons plant milk
Chop the chocolate and frozen cherries into pieces. If you are not making the recipe immediately, place the chocolate and cherries in the freezer until ready to use.
Place the frozen banana slices in the bowl of a food processor with vanilla and 3 tablespoons of cold plant milk. Process until smooth and creamy.
Add chopped chocolate and frozen cherries and pulse a couple times until just incorporated.
Enjoy immediately or transfer into a metal loaf pan, smooth out the surface and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for 4 hours, then remove the plastic wrap, leave for a couple minutes at room temperature to thaw slightly before scooping out with an ice-cream scoop.
If your food processor or blender has trouble blending frozen bananas, add a little more plant milk but no more than 1 tablespoon at a time.
Chopped chocolate can be swapped for mini chocolate chips.
For vegan nice cream use dairy-free chocolate.
