June is here and with it came very hot weather. Weather that meant the only way to get cool is to eat ice cream. Challenge accepted.
Today is the monthly posting for the Chocolate Party. Cherries were the chosen ingredient to pair with chocolate and all I could thing about was Cherry Garcia ice cream. I have never had it but thought if it works for Ben and Jerry's surely a cherry and chocolate ice cream would be a winner.
I ended up with lighter frozen treat swapping in Greek yogurt as the base. After all I was planning on having this to cool off many days in a row, many times a day.
I used an ice cream maker but you can simply mix the ingredients and freeze if you don't have one. Regardless this should be eaten within three or four days of freezing otherwise ice crystals form.
