With only 3 ingredients, you can make the most delicious no-churn Cherry Ice Cream with chocolate chunks. It’s the perfect treat for the summer! And it’s also vegan and gluten-free.
I love the combination of cherries and chocolate! This ice cream reminds me a lot of Black Forest Cake or Cherry Garcia Ice Cream.
This ice cream is
- vegan
- gluten-free
- dairy-free
- no-churn
- and ready in just under 5 minutes
You only need to freeze the bananas and sour cherries the day before, then you can make it in 5 minutes with the help of a food processor. This is the easiest ice cream! So healthy, and delicious!
How to make Cherry Nice Cream
As always you will find the whole recipe with measurements in the box below but I want to give you an overview of the key ingredients, variations, and the process with step-by-step photos first.
The ingredients
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
- canned, pitted sour/tart cherries – freeze 1 cup (150g) for the nice cream base, add the rest non-frozen cherries to the ice cream together with the chocolate chunks
- and chocolate (cut into chunks) – I’ve used semi-sweet chocolate, but feel free to use dark or light chocolate – whatever you like best

The black forest-inspired best!! I adore this flavor combination in any form but lately my love for ice cream is pretty much at obsession level so YES <33 Loving the pretty chocolate shavings and really loving how super simple this is to make! Double scoop for me and with as many chocolate shavings as you can pile on please :)
