Oh Yes! Chocolate Cherry Free From Raw Ice Cream!
Ooo… I bet you thought I wasn’t going to make it to post this week! 
Well here I am with an incredibly quick to make gorgeous bowl of raw frozen deliciousness (just for you Milica)!
It was abnormally hot in the UK this week and hot weather calls for ice creams of course! For those following a free from diet of any sort, finding ice cream you can actually eat is very difficult… unless of course you make your own! No special equipment other than a blender / food processor needed. Seriously quick and easy to make, a little while to wait for it to freeze (or not!) and then munch away! Perfect! What did I do? I didn’t write it down that’s for sure – in my much too busy to think busiest week ever, but I did take photos so I could remember! Good job too as I’ve already made a second lot! It only has FIVE ingredients and is super quick and easy to make! More time for enjoying the sunshine (you lucky people who have time at the minute!) Think of me being busy this week (especially Monday / Tuesday) and hopefully everything will start getting back to normal (?!) soon!

YUM! indeed!
Thank you! 
Great recipe!
Hello & welcome Poppyseed Bee! Thank you very much! Definitely delicious and refreshing in this hot weather!
O, I love this! I bet cherries give an extra kick with their sweet sourness. I do have pet peeve with them though. When I buy them frozen, there’s always some pit left, that makes my blender rattle like crazy
You still owe me the model number for your food processor
Milica these are red juicy sweet cherries
They definitely add an extra dimension to the ice cream adding a plump moist burst of flavour! I can’t say I’ve ever put frozen cherries in the blender? I want to play now…
MMMMMMMM! Delicious indeed!
I loved every spoonful! x
Awww thank you Sophie
I might mix it up and try with clementines… you’ve got me thinking of them now!

[…] These brownies were inspired by a recipe on Caroline’s Cooking and I just had to give them a try… with a few tweaks of course! Isn’t it amazing how many brownie recipes you can have! This will be the third I have posted on this blog – and when I was asked the other day which one I preferred I really didn’t know the answer! Anyway, these are great for the long weekend ahead, especially if you have vegan and free-from friends you need to cater for! I’ve paired mine with some delicious vegan ice-cream. […]
