How to Prepare Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream Pops [Vegan]
To Make the Cherry Ice Cream:

- 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.

The leftover chocolate sauce can be stored in the refrigerator. Just reheat on low to soften again.
