It’s all about cherries where we live right now. Even if it’s not cherry season where you are, you can use frozen cherries for this recipe! We have an abundance of them, and it was time to get creative. =) I decided to make some homemade cherry ice cream!
If you avoid dairy, you can sub out the whole milk and heavy cream for any one of your favorite dairy-free milks. Cashew milk is an excellent alternative and provides a rich, creamy texture. Another option would be full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk. The sky’s the limit!
My favorite thing about this recipe is that it involves no cooking!

I was so excited to find an ice cream recipe that didn’t have refined sugar! I used your recipe as a base. I had strawberries on hand so I used those in place of the cherries and I omitted the juice and almond extract. The results were amazing! I can’t wait to try it with other fruits! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
