Ice Cream Mini Bundt Cakes

Recipe characteristics

  • Rich and creamy texture
  • No oven required
  • No-bake dessert that combines a dark chocolate base, creamy coconut  layer, and tangy and sweet sour cherry drizzle
  • Dietary requirements: vegan (dairy-free, egg-free), gluten-free, grain-free, and soy-free

Notes on ingredients

You can find a complete list of ingredients with exact amounts and instructions in the recipe card below.
  • Cashews: They provide a rich and creamy texture.  Make sure to soak them at room temperature for at least 4 hours.
  • Coconut cream: Always use full-fat canned coconut milk or the cupcakes won’t turn out creamy. Chill it in the refrigerator overnight so that you can easily separate cream from the liquid. The cream should be firm enough so that you can scoop it out with a spoon. 
  • Dark chocolate: For this recipe I used dark chocolate with 85% cocoa solids.
  • Agave syrup: If substituting agave syrup with maple or vice versa, the exact same amounts are to be used.  Choose golden maple syrup with a light amber color.
  • Sour red cherries: Sour cherries, chocolate base, and rich and creamy coconut filling are such a dream pairing. If you can’t find fresh sour red cherries, then go for the frozen ones !
  • Agar powder: Agar powder is a vegan and vegetarian gelatin substitute, produced from a sea vegetable. It is flavorless and odorless and often used as a thickening agent for making jelly, cakes and jams.

How to make it

You can find a complete list of ingredients with exact amounts and instructions in the recipe card below.

SOAKING CASHEWS:  Put cashews in a bowl and add enough water to cover. Soak at room temperature for at least 4 hours.

NOTE: To ensure an ultra-smooth texture of the cashew cream, it’s important to use a high-speed blender.

Always use full-fat canned coconut milk or the cupcakes won’t turn out creamy. Chill it in the refrigerator overnight so that you can easily separate cream from the liquid. The cream should be firm enough so that you can scoop it out with a spoon. 

Coconut layer

  • Drain cashews well and place them into a high-speed blender. Add coconut cream, lemon juice, and agave syrup, and blend at high speed until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the filling into 6 small silicone bundt cake molds. Place the cupcakes in the freezer to firm up for 4-5 hours or until completely firm.
  • Note: Make sure to leave enough space for a thin chocolate layer on top of each cupcake.

Chocolate base

  • Melt chocolate over low heat in a medium pot. Let it cool down a bit.
  • Once the coconut layer has set, add the dark chocolate base layer using a spoon to evenly distribute the chocolate.
  • Freeze briefly till set.

Cherry sauce

  • For the cherry drizzle, put frozen or fresh red sour cherries into a small pot. Heat on medium heat until the cherries have broken down slightly. Add in the agave syrup and stir until combined.
  • Remove from the heat and place the mixture into a high-speed blender, add agar powder, and blend briefly until smooth. Adjust sweetness if necessary.
  • Return to the pot and heat the mixture to a light simmer and continue to cook for 2 – 3 minutes while stirring constantly.
  • Let it cool until lukewarm. Don’t let it cool down completely because once cold, the cherry sauce mixture will thicken quickly.
  • Remove cupcakes from the molds and carefully drizzle the sauce over each cupcakes. Having the cherry sauce and the cupcakes at the right temperature is essential for this. You might need a little bit of practice, but it’s very easy once you get it. 
  • Place the cupcakes in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until the cherry topping has set.
  • Alternatively, drizzle each cupcake with melted dark chocolate.

Serving suggestion

Top each cupcake with cherries, mint leaves, and edible flowers.

Storing

Store leftover cupcakes in the fridge or store in the freezer for up to 3 months for optimal flavor.
