    Double Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream that’s Out-of-this-Galaxy

    By Alisa Fleming on July 28, 2019 Dairy Free Desserts

    This double chocolate cherry ice cream recipe was a Runner-Up Recipe by Amy Siegel from the Galaxy Foods Dairy-Free Ice Cream Contest. The entrants used Go Veggie Vegan Cream Cheese Alternative to create a vegan ice cream recipe. And let me tell you, the results were quite luxurious.

    Today we’re giving Amy’s recipe a big update, and I have a few ingredient tips to help you out.

    Dairy-Free Chocolate Abounds – Amy used a double batch of chocolate chips to make this recipe. Eight ounces were melted down to create the intensely chocolate base, and another 1/4 cup is scattered in. This means that the results do depend on good quality chocolate. Make sure you pick a brand of dairy-free chocolate chips that you really enjoy – they do vary quite a bit in taste! To help find the chocolate for you, see my Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Guide.

    Go Creamy with Coconut Milk – Remember to use FULL-FAT canned coconut milk. Do not use milk beverage (the drinkable kind), or your chocolate cherry ice cream will be too icy. See my Guide to Coconut Milk for a comparison.

    Eat Dairy Free - Your Essential Cookbook for Everyday Meals, Snacks, and SweetsUse the Dairy-Free Cream Cheese for You – If you need a soy-free option, or can’t find this brand, use the dairy-free cream cheese alternative that fits your needs. This recipe will work well with most brands. You can even use the homemade Dairy-Free Cashew Cream Cheese in Go Dairy Free: The Ultimate Guide and Cookbook. The cream cheese alterantive adds richness, creaminess, and a little tang to the flavor that melds well with the cherries.

    Choosing Cherries – This recipe uses dried cherries. If the ones you have are big, I recommend chopping them to avoid overly chewy pieces. If you prefer, you can use chopped frozen or fresh cherries instead. We love frozen dark sweet cherries with ice cream.
