Not a vegan but would be interested in your twist on a vegan ice cream recipe (hint, hint, not the only 1, surely). Thanx from new subbie.

      You can, Gloria. But, if you want them to freeze separately so you can use 3 or 5 or 10 cherries that you don't have to pry apart, place them carefully in the bag and lay the bag FLAT until the cherries freeze. I think that will work for you. You do understand that the cherries do NOT STAY on the baking sheet? You just use it to freeze and then transfer them into a bag to use later.
