While making a raw vegan carrot cake with my friend Amelia we got a little peckish so I decided to quickly whip up a quick batch of sexy ice-cream so I could show off my new 'Yonanas' gadget. I had a bag of frozen cherries in the freezer and we'd been chatting about chocolate sauce (for whatever reason. like there needs to be a reason!) so we decided to make cherry-chocolate ice-cream.
The recipe (4 normal portions or 2 uber-portions)
For the ice-cream
400g of frozen sweet cherries
250g frozen sliced bananas
For the chocolate 'ripple' sauce
100ml date syrup
50g raw cacao powder
To make the sauce
Stir the cacao powder into the date syrup until smooth. Adjust as per your own taste.
To make the ice-cream in a Yonanas
Take frozen fruit out of the freezer and allow to thaw slightly for about 20 minutes. Run through the machine as per manufacturers instructions in a sequence of banana, cherry, banana, cherry, banana...etc. Immediately stir the sauce through or drizzle on top, and serve!
To make in a food-processor
Place frozen fruit into processor and pulse until it forms crumbs. Leave to thaw for a few minutes then pulse again. Repeat the pulse/rest sequence until it has formed creamy soft ice-cream. Stir in the sauce or drizzle on top. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
