Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 12 ounces frozen sweet dark cherries (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2, 13.5 ounce cans coconut milk (or coconut cream)
  • 1/3 cup agave syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shaved chocolate (about 3/4 of 3-ounce chocolate bar)

Instruction

  • Store your ice cream freezer bowl in the freezer for at least 15 hours before use.
  • In a small saucepan, add frozen cherries, sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brought to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about five minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature (cooling in the refrigerator speeds up the process).
  • In a high-speed blender, blend coconut milk, agave, vanilla and salt until combined.
  • Transfer coconut milk mixture to ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Once ice cream is thickened to soft-serve consistency, slowly add in cherries. Add in the shaved chocolate until combined.
  • Using a spatula, transfer the ice cream mixture to a freezer-safe container (loaf pan works well).
  • Transfer ice cream to a freezer to harden for at least 4-6 hours.
  • Let soften at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.
