It’s a perfect homemade ice cream flavor that you can enjoy any time of the year or serve on any special occasion. This has a consistency similar to soft-serve ice cream.

Kitchen Notes and Tips

• Whole milk was used to create this recipe. However, you can use your choice of milk, cream, or non-dairy alternatives, such as almond milk, instead. Do note that using plant-based milk alternatives will affect the flavor. For richer results, add a splash of heavy whipping cream while blending. 
• You can use an ice cream maker or your home’s trusty blender to mix the ingredients.
• For best results, use frozen cherries for this ice cream recipe.
• To add an extra cherry flavor, you can add maraschino cherries as one of your ice cream toppings.
