Reasons to Make This Cherry Nice Cream

• Vegan-friendly - you can easily make this recipe vegan by using dairy-free greek yogurt.
• Easy - this cherry recipe only takes 5 minutes to put together and has a wonderful creamy texture.
• Gluten-free - I love making nice cream because it's naturally gluten-free!
• Simple ingredients - there are only 3 simple ingredients in this recipe.

Ingredient Notes

• Greek Yogurt: I use plain Fage greek yogurt. If you want the nice cream to be sweet, choose a vanilla-flavored greek yogurt.
• Frozen Cherries: I chose a frozen cherry mix with blueberries and strawberries.

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Add the greek yogurt, frozen cherries, and honey to a food processor and pulse until smooth.

The mixture should have a creamy consistency.

Pour the mixture into a metal loaf pan.

Remove from the freezer after 6 hours and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before scooping using an ice cream scoop.

Hint: it can be helpful to use a reusable ice cream container instead of a loaf pan. Find a great one HERE.

How to Make Vegan Nice Cream

Instead of plain greek yogurt, choose a non-dairy greek yogurt alternative. Kite Hill and Culina make great options to make this vegan ice cream!

Variation

• Chocolate - add chocolate chips to the nice cream AFTER blending but before freezing. This will give you chocolate chip nice cream with cherries.
• Frozen Bananas - you can add 2 frozen bananas or 2 ripe bananas to this nice cream recipe for cherry banana ice cream.
• Fresh Cherries - you can use the same amount of fresh cherries instead of frozen cherries. Just make sure they're pitted!
• Vanilla Extract - add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract before blending. You can also do the same with almond extract.
