This sweet cherry dessert is a favorite in our home. We have been preparing this version of vegan ice cream made with frozen fruit, or “nice cream”, for several years now, and keep coming back to it. It’s especially delicious during warm weather for a cool treat.

This dessert has appeared at many family celebrations and it’s always a hit! It’s sweet yet tart, creamy, and offers a variety of options to change it up with various toppings. Some of our favorites include blueberries, chia seeds, coconut shreds, and dark chocolate chips. You can also use different frozen fruit as your base. In addition the well-known banana nice cream, we have tried cantaloupe, pineapple, and blueberry, all of which are delicious.
