Description

Creamy Cherry Almond No-Churn Ice Cream—juicy cherries and a hint of almond essence, no machine needed! Perfect for summer


Scale

Ingredients

1 can sweetened condensed milk (395g)

500ml fresh cream

½ cup cherry purée

Optional: chopped cherries for folding in

Cherry Puree

2 cups cherries pitted

1/2 cup sugar

2 tbs lemon juice

5ml almond essence


Instructions

Cherry Puree

Remove the pits from the cherries. Place the cherries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the cherries are soft and the mixture has thickened. Purée the mixture using a stick blender or food processor until smooth. If you don’ like the texture of the cherrie skins you can also strain it through a sieve. Transfer the purée to an airtight container and refrigerate until completely cool.

Method:

  1. In a large bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form.
  2. In another bowl, mix the condensed milk with the cherry purée.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cherry-condensed milk mixture until fully combined. Keep it light and airy.
  4. If you like, fold in some chopped cherries for extra texture.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and smooth the top.
  6. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.

Notes

You will only need ½ cup of the purée for the gelato recipe. The remaining purée can be used in smoothies, baking, or other recipes.
