Vegan Chocolate Covered Cherry Ice Cream Tart, only 8 simple real food ingredients. Creamy cherry chocolate goodness that is gluten free, vegan, and paleo!
Combine all ingredients in a food processor, blend until smooth and creamy. Taste for sweetness, if your cherries aren't sweet enough add a bit more maple syrup. Pour mixture into a container (I used a bread pan) and place in freezer. Scrape the ice cream every few hours and stir well. It will take about 6-8 hours to freeze appropriately (or overnight)
Crust
Combine all ingredients in a food processor, pulse until well combined. Press crust into the base of a springform pan.
When ice cream is the consistency of soft serve spread on top of crust and put tart into freezer to set (this will be another few hours)
Toppings
Melt chocolate over a double boiler (or carefully in microwave). Stir coconut oil into chocolate until smooth and glossy.
Drizzle chocolate sauce over tart and top with chocolate shavings and extra fresh cherries.
Tart will need to sit out of the freezer for about 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a smoother consistency use an ice cream maker. I don't own one so I used the method listed. This will produce some ice crystals, but it is still super yummy!
Cherries are jam packed with antioxidants which makes this a healthy dessert!
