How to Prepare Raw Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Bars [Vegan]

To Make the Ice Cream:

  1. Put everything into a blender and blend until smooth. If you do not have a high-powered blender, blend the cherries with the maple syrup and a couple tablespoons of water first to break them down. Then add the remaining ingredients.
  2. Pour into a baking dish lined with plastic wrap. The baking dish I used was about 4" x 6", so relatively small. Place in the freezer, covered, overnight. (I use these in the freezer to keep my goods covered) Do not add the chocolate layer until the bars are frozen completely ... add the chocolate ganache the next morning just to be safe.

To Make the Ganache:

  1. Place everything in a small bowl and, using a fork, mix everything until well incorporated. If it is not perfectly smooth then continue to adjust your proportions until just right. Then pour your chocolate over the ice cream bars and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour to set before serving.

Notes

Keep all of your tools completely dry while making the chocolate. Any moisture will cause the ingredients in the chocolate to seize and it will not be smooth enough to pour beautifully onto the bars!
