A sweet, cool treat that involves just a few ingredients and a win for the family! We use frozen dark cherries plus very ripe bananas. If you do not have very ripe bananas, use a couple tablespoons of any liquid to blend well. This recipe also works great to freeze and eat later.
It’s creamy and smooth texture mimics ice cream which is always a fan favorite, right? It is fun for the kiddos to get involved and pulse the food processor as they watch the ingredients magically mold into this beautiful, effortless dessert. The color is just gorgeous!
