Cherry Chocolate Chip Nice Cream (Vegan)

Cherry Chocolate Chip Nice Cream.  My family’s challenge lately has been to cook from the pantry, fridge or freezer.  We have so much excess food and we need to get through it all.

That is exactly how this healthy nice cream recipe came about.  I have leftover frozen bananas and leftover frozen cherries in the freezer.  Plus, a HUGE bag on Enjoy Life chips to use up.
