Recipe of the Week – Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream

Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream

This ice cream recipe has only four ingredients and is a healthier version of the popular flavor that you don’t have to feel guilty eating! 

Ingredients

• 4-5 ripe bananas (the more ripe the better – they should have at least a few brown spots)
• a few frozen cherries
• few drops of vanilla extract
• a handful (or more depending on preference) of dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Take 4-5 ripe bananas, peel them, and add to a plastic freezer bag to freeze overnight until they’re completely solid. They will keep for at least a week.
2. Cut the bananas into 1/2 inch chunks and add them to a food processor.
3. After about 45-60 seconds, the bananas should be fully blended into a smooth, creamy, and light frozen dessert. Add in the frozen cherries and vanilla extract and blend again for a few seconds more until the color is a consistent pink.  Stir in the chocolate chips. Be careful not to overprocess or the friction from the processor will begin to melt the ice cream. You can enjoy this dessert right away for best results, but it will also freeze well for a day or two.

Enjoy!!
