With only 3 ingredients, you can make the most delicious no-churn Cherry Ice Cream with chocolate chunks ever. It’s the perfect treat for the summer! Vegan and gluten-free.
You’ll only need three ingredients for this amazing Cherry Nice Cream:
- Bananas (frozen and in chunks) – makes the ice cream super smooth and creamy
- Cherries (pitted and frozen)
- and Chocolate (shaved and in chunks)
I love the combination of cherries and chocolate! This ice cream reminds me a lot of Black Forest Cake. <3
This ice cream is
- vegan
- gluten-free
- dairy-free
- no-churn
- and ready in just under 5 minutes
As for the chocolate, I shaved about half of the chocolate with a veggie peeler to make pretty shaved chocolate to top the ice cream with afterwards. The rest of the chocolate I cut in small pieces and added it to the ice cream itself. So you’ll have chocolate chunks in the ice cream and shaved chocolate on top. How perfect is that?! And more chocolate is always better :)
I’ve added a few more variations for banana ice cream below the recipe.
