Cherry Ice Cream

This sweet and slightly tart Cherry Ice Cream is made with just a handful of easy ingredients. No custard base, no eggs, no cooking time, just a quick whirl in the blender with sweet cream, sugar, and cherries.

Ingredients 

• 16 ounces frozen sweet cherries about 3 cups worth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup milk
• ⅓ cup sugar
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Swirl Ingredients

• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil

Instructions

Combine the cherries, cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla in the blender. Puree until completely smooth. Serve immediately for soft-serve ice cream or pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Chocolate Swirl Instructions

While the ice cream is churning, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small glass bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir until smooth. If needed, heat an additional 20-30 seconds. Stir until smooth.

Let cool a bit at room temperature while the ice cream finishes churning. (If it solidifies too much to drizzle while waiting, reheat for 10-15 seconds and stir again.)

When the ice cream finishes churning. Transfer about a third of the ice cream to an airtight container and drizzle generously with about a third of the melted chocolate. Repeat twice. Freeze until ready to serve.
