Instructions For Cherry Ice Cream

In a high speed blender place all ingredients and
blend till completely smooth. If using frozen cherries
cherry ice cream mixture should be chilled and ready
to be transferred into ice cream maker.

If using fresh cherries simply chill mixture for
10 to 15 minutes in freezer before transferring to
ice cream maker.

My ice maker takes about 15 minutes to spin mixture
into soft serve texture but follow your manufactures
directions for what ever model you are using.

Store finished product in freezer to harder and
achieve more of a solid ice cream like texture.

Instructions Raw Cocoa Brownie Bites

In a food processor with the S-blade inserted,
place walnuts, almonds, cocoa powder and salt
and process into a coarse flour.

Add dates and coconut oil and continue processing
until mixture forms a dough ball consistency.

You do not need to press this into a pan,
just cut a portion to you liking and
cut into small chucks to drop in ice cream
machine while cherry ice cream is mixing.

Serve in a ice dish or on a plate and garnish
with additional cocoa brownie chunks.

The raw vegan cherry ice cream will last
3 to 4 months in freezer.
