Cherry ice cream Recipe

Take a scoop of your very own homemade ice cream in no time at all with our quick and easy no-churn cheats cherry ice cream.

If you’ve ever wanted to make delicious ice cream at home but haven’t got the time or right equipment, this cherry ice cream recipe is perfect. Blitzing frozen fruits into the sweetened cream will instantly freeze it and ‘churn’ it into a silky-smooth ice cream.

Go wild and try this with any type of frozen fruits, or ditch the cream and whip up a simple sorbet.

We made our own cones to serve the ice cream in, which we would absolutely recommend doing, at least once, but shop bought cones will be just as effective. If you prefer, the ice cream is also delicious served with crisp meringue or as a cookie sandwich.
