This ice cream is pure greatness. Tastes amazing and so easy to make! You can also add protein powder to this to pack an extra punch. I use Paleo Chocolate and Vegan Chocolate from Merrik Medical Formulas. If you want more information about this brand, click on this link.

Let us begin! 🙂

You will need:

– 3 frozen bananas

– 4 pitted dates

– 2 tbsp. raw cacao powder

– 2 tbsp. organic coconut sugar

– 1 tsp vanilla

– 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and chopped

Optional:

– 1 scoop of chocolate vegan or paleo protein powder

Step 1:

In your food processor, add in the bananas, dates, cacao, coconut sugar and vanilla.

Note: If you choose to use chocolate protein powder, omit the dates and vanilla from above. The protein powder should be sweet enough on its own for this! 🙂

Pulse/blend the mixture until it is creamy and thoroughly mixed:

Step 2:

Next, add in the fresh cherries. You want to mix this only slightly, so that a bit of the cherries are blended yet there are still chucks of cherries remaining in the ice cream:

Look at that color!

Once the cherries are mixed in, you are done! Spoon it out and serve! Top with fresh cherries and eat!

You can also top the ice cream with shredded coconut, or anything else that you would like

Enjoy!
