Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk (skimmed from the top of a chilled can of full fat coconut milk)
  • 1 cup Pacific Foods™ Organic Almond Original Plant-Based Beverage
  • 1/2 fresh banana
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter
  • 1/8 cup vanilla bean or 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sweet cherry, pitted (plus 1/4 cup pitted and chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 to 5 pitted medjool dates
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Step 1

    In the bowl of a high powered blender, combine the coconut cream, almond milk, fresh banana, cashew butter, vanilla bean powder or extract, 1 heaping cup pitted sweet cherries, almond extract, 3 pitted medjool dates and a tiny pinch sea salt (you can add 1 teaspoon dragon fruit powder for color, if desired). Blend on high until all of the ingredients meld into a creamy ice cream base. You want the dates to be well broken down into the mix, so keep blending until the cream is one uniform color. Taste and add a few more dates as you like if you prefer a sweeter popsicle, then blend again as needed.  

  • Step 2

    Stir in the chopped cherries.  Pour the cherry almond cream into your popsicle mold. Freeze for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight, until firm. To release from the molds, run the mold under warm water until the popsicles pull away. Serve immediately, or for best results let thaw a few minutes before biting in. Enjoy!
