Cherry Ice Cream
A quick and creamy cherry ice cream made with frozen cherries, rich cream, and a hint of vanilla, perfect for any occasion.
Equipment
- Blender
- Ice Cream Maker
- Microwave
Ingredients
- 16 oz. frozen sweet cherries (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for optional swirl
- 2 tsp. coconut oil for optional swirl
Instructions
- Combine frozen cherries, heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- If you prefer soft-serve, serve immediately. For firmer ice cream, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- While churning, prepare the chocolate swirl by melting chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly while the ice cream finishes churning.
- Transfer about a third of the ice cream to an airtight container. Drizzle a third of the melted chocolate over this layer and repeat until all ingredients are used.
- Freeze the container until the ice cream is fully set, about 4 hours.
