I lowkey just found Cherry Garcia isn’t a real flavor. Like it is, but it’s not. It’s a flavor made up by Ben & Jerry’s. How confusing is that? I legit thought it was a traditional ice cream flavor. Another thing I found out: it was named after Jerry Garcia. That makes so much sense now. I always wondered why it was called Cherry GARCIA. Garcia is not a flavor lol.
Anyway, I decided to veganize it (although I’m pretty sure B & J’s already has a vegan Cherry Garcia by now) and make it healthy! It’s actually really simple to make!
Ingredients:
- Frozen bananas
- Frozen cherries
- Dairy-free chocolate chips/chunks
- Almond milk (or another plant-based milk)
- Optional: cherry powder (I didn’t use it, but it would have made the flavor stronger)
You guys know how it goes from here! Put it all into the blender or magic bullet (minus the chocolate chips), blend until smooth and thick, and put it in a bowl. THEN add the chocolate chunks and frozen chopped up cherries, swirl it around, then place it in a pretty mason jar and gram the shit out of it!
Jerry Garcia would be proud. I hope lol.
