Cherry Ice Cream Recipe
A slightly tart, citrusy, yet sweet cherry ice cream ready perfect for cooling you down after a hot summer day.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe cherries pitted chopped
- ⅔ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 1 tsp orange juice
- 2 ¼ cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the cherries, granulated sugar, water, orange juice, and orange zest into a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Allow the cherries to come up to a boil, then decrease the heat to medium-low.
- Simmer the cherry orange mixture until the sugar crystals dissolve and the cherries have softened. Pour the cherry mixture into a blender with 1/2 cup of heavy cream and blend it into a smooth puree.
- Pour the blended cherries into a bowl with the heavy cream and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Refrigerate the cherry ice cream base for 3-4 hours or overnight.
- Pour the cherry ice cream base into an ice cream machine and follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn it.
- Transfer the cherry ice cream into an airtight freezer-safe container and freeze it for 3-4hours.
Notes
- If using frozen cherries, do not thaw them before cooking them with sugar, water, orange juice, and zest. If you thaw, your frozen cherries may cause discoloration.
