Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Place the pitted cherries in a blender and blend until smooth. You may leave a few cherry chunks for texture if desired.
In a mixing bowl, combine the blended cherries, coconut milk, raw honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and sea salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more honey or lemon juice if needed.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze for at least 2-4 hours or until firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften.
Scoop and serve in bowls or cones for a delicious paleo dessert.
