How to Prepare Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream Pops [Vegan]
To Make the Cherry Ice Cream:
- In a blender or food processor, place all ingredients (except extra cherry chunks) and blend until completely creamy and smooth. Taste for sweetness and add additional sweetener as needed.
- Slice the cherry chunks and stick them to the sides of your popsicle molds. Add as many cherry slices as desired. Pour the mixture into the mold, leaving about 1/4-inch of room on top. Place stick in the mixture and place in freezer for 4-6 hours.
To Make the Chocolate Shell:
- Place coconut oil, cacao, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Stir frequently until ingredients are melted. Be careful not to burn. Then, add the vanilla and salt and mix well. Remove from heat and let cool at room temperature. Drizzle over frozen ice pops and serve.
Notes
The leftover chocolate sauce can be stored in the refrigerator. Just reheat on low to soften again.
