Cherry Chocolate Chip Soft Serve

Recipe

PREP TIME: 3 HOURS

COOK TIME: 0 MIN

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 medium bananas, sliced into 1 inch chunks, frozen
• 1 and 1/2 cups frozen dark cherries, pitted
• 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1-2 tsp unsweetened almond milk, as needed

Toppings (optional):

• dark chocolate pieces
• cacao nibs
• crushed peanuts
• chocolate covered espresso beans

Directions:

1. Slice bananas into 1 inch chunks and freeze for 2-3 hours or overnight.
2. Combine frozen banana chunks, frozen cherries, and vanilla extract in food processor. Pulse on medium until crumbly, stopping now and then to scrape down the sides.
3. Give time and patience to reach blended stage, adding almond milk as needed for creamy, smooth texture.
4. Immediately spoon “nice” cream into a serving dish and add optional toppings. You can also place the “nice” cream in a freezer to serve later by storing in a covered container. When ready to serve, allow to thaw 5-10 minutes to soften and scoop.

“Here’s a dairy free “nice cream” with only four ingredients. All it takes is blending frozen bananas and cherries in a food processor. A “nice” way to satisfy a frozen treat for those hot summerdays.” - Kay, BZP Ambassador
