In a large mixing bowl, use a your mixer on medium speed to beat together the coconut milk, cream cheese alternative, agave nectar and vanilla extract until fluffy.
Whisk one third cream cheese mixture into cooled chocolate mixture. Fold the chocolate mixture into the remaining cream cheese mixture. Stir in the dried cherries and chopped chocolate or mini-chocolate chips.
