This cherry "ice cream" is Lydia’s go-to post-run treat—sweet, cold, and packed with good-for-you ingredients. Inspired by her time in Hawaii, this was her go-to while training for a marathon. It’s made with frozen cherries, almond butter, cacao, and a touch of cardamom for a soft-serve-like dessert that tastes as good as it makes you feel.
Ingredients
- 2 cup frozen cherries
- 2 tablespoon almond butter
- 2 tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- Pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- Maldon salt (for finishing)
