Vegan Pomegranate and Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream

Day 9 of my “Ten Days of Thanksgiving” is a Vegan Pomegranate and Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream. I realize that ice cream in not necessarily a traditional Thanksgiving dessert but I really wanted to do something a little different. I am a HUGE ice cream fan so it only seemed right to include an ice cream recipe with my Thanksgiving menu. It also goes great with the recipe I am posting tomorrow. I am ended this little series with TWO desserts.

This ice cream is actually very simple to make and doesn’t even require a lot of ingredients! A few notes about this recipe. Do not forget to strain the batter before churning it. I accidentally didn’t do that one time and the pomegranate seeds gave it quite a crunch..hah!

I also prefer to use Date Lady dates for my ice cream. They are a serious game changer in taste and texture. You definitely don’t have to use them but I definitely prefer them to any other kind.

You can even make this pomegranate and chocolate ganache ice cream a few days ahead of time and save a lot of time Thanksgiving Day.

Enjoy!
