Sugar-Free Chocolate Cherry Chunk Ice Cream (Vegan)

July 19, 2017 By Sonnet 1 Comment

Sometimes, on a hot day in the middle of summer, a gal just needs some ice cream.

And, when it comes to ice cream, I can get a bit picky.

Luckily for me, this homemade sugar-free chocolate cherry chunk ice cream fulfills all my requirements!

There’s no refined sugar and no added sugar at all since it’s sweetened with stevia!
It’s rich, thick, and creamy, but is completely dairy-free and entirely vegan and paleo!
This ice cream is loaded with antioxidants from cherries!
And, of course, it has chocolate! In addition to cacao powder, I used NuNaturals NuStevia Cocoa Syrup and Lily’s Dark Chocolate Premium Baking Chips to add extra chocolate, but since they’re sweetened with stevia, there’s no added sugar!

And, the best part: you don’t need an ice cream maker for this recipe!

So what are you waiting for? Grab your blender and let’s get started!

Healthy Sheet Pan Meal Prep

Do you ever feel like eating healthy is too much work? 😉 I can totally relate. Way back in the days before I knew how to efficiently cook, dinner was often take-out or a frozen dinner. However, not only was this un-appetizing after awhile, but it was expensive and made my body feel like crud….

Easy No-Sugar-Added Berry Jam

A few weeks ago when I was playing around with making this sugar-free chocolate chia pudding, I got the idea of using chia seeds to make a quick jam. Since I am too lazy/impatient to make a real jam with pectin, this seemed like a huge win. Plus, this version doesn’t contain any added sugar…

Sugar-Free Vanilla Cashew Fat Bombs

If you have a sweet tooth and are looking for healthier dessert options, then you’ve come to the right place! A couple of weeks ago I made a few batches of these sugar-free vanilla cashew fat bombs for an event at my partner’s office. I heard through the grapevine that people loved them (yay!!) and they…

Summer Thriller Reading List 2017

So, it happened like this: last summer I started reading The Girl On The Train. Just a little innocent summer reading, right? Well, it somehow launched me into a full-blown obsession with mysteries, psychological thrillers, and anything in the crime genre. Overnight I went from being someone who had always spent their free time reading…

Low-Sugar Crockpot Baked Beans

I don’t know about you, but life over here feels a bit crazy and I am counting down the days right now. In just two weeks I’ll be moving and saying goodbye to the sweet little old house I’ve been renting the past two and a half years. Sure, we’ve had our issues and it’s…

How I Grew My Food Blog with Food Blogger Pro

Hey friends, I want to start this post with a heartfelt thank you. I’ve been writing this blog for seven and a half years (whoa!) and back in 2010, I had no idea what this little blog would turn into. I cannot even put into words how grateful I feel every day for the amazing people (that’s…

I don’t know about you, but now that summer’s upon us, I want to spend a lot more time outdoors rather than worrying about what’s for dinner.
