Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream (I used dairy but you could use coconut-based cream for non-dairy)
  • 2 cups frozen sweet cherries
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla powder (or vanilla extract)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
  • 1 pasteurized egg yolk optional

Instructions

  • Pour the heavy cream into the bowl of a food processor. Whip it until fluffy. Add the frozen cherries, heavy cream, sugar, sea salt, vanilla powder, and optional lemon juice and egg yolk. Puree until completely smooth.
  • Freeze the ice cream using one of these two methods:
    1. Pour the ice cream into small single serving containers and freeze them. This makes it easy to take out and bring to room temperature for a few minutes to help it soften before serving.
    2. Or, pour the whole batch into a shallow pan and freeze for 1 hour. Swirl with a fork and freeze again. Stir every hour until firm, then transfer into a storage container.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

This is a firmer ice cream once it’s frozen, so just allow for letting it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving and you’ll be all set to enjoy delicious creamy ice cream!
