Cherry Ice Cream

My grandpa is one of the coolest people alive. Instead of sending money, electronics, or any other gifts for birthdays, graduations, holidays he sends fruit.

You heard me right…..no presents, money or any of those frills on your special day….not even a phone call for your birthday.  

Every now and then (he’s done it a total of two times) he will send a big 18 lbs box of cherries. But I accept it because these cherries are the best cherries ever! Picked right from the farm in Oregon and shipped to California. But you have to be careful with timing so they don’t stay more than a day in transport.

Anyways, some cherries do arrive a bit bruised; I de-seed them and freeze them right away so that they don’t go to waste. Then I make CHERRY ICE CREAM!!!

Yes! You need two shots at a bit different angles...

Do I put cherries on top of the ice cream? Nope, mixed in straight is where its at.

Ingredients:

Fill your Vitamix with 2 bananas

½ cup of chocolate soymilk

And as many frozen cherries your bare hand can handle

Then make the ice-cream using the “frozen treats” handle. 

And wa-la. Its funny how different the color looks in a different light.....
