Cherry ( licious ) Ice cream


Summer is such a thirsty business ......

I'm so happy and very delighted when I saw loads of lusciously delectable cherries at our local market

I thought after those gorgeously cheap cherries early this year , the next time I'm going to see cherries again will be next year ....

Just like Maltesers , which I just can't stop eating that the last time I baked cookies that calls for malted choco , there were not just enough to use ! Good thing choco chips as a sub were just as good ^__^''

Cherries like Maltesers are one of those food that once you pop , you just can't stop er that's Pringles hee hee

So did I use fresh cherries ?!

Nah !

Fresh cherries are for snacking  ! Okay ! Okay , there were not enough to make this batch of ice cream lol

I got a standby , canned cherries , which I bought last year just in case , you know ! -__-'  pfffttttt


Recipe idea stolen from Sherry Yard's Strawberry Ice Cream

1 can / 439 grams dark sweet cherries in heavy syrup , I used S&W brand
2 1/2 tablespoon sugar
generous tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon cherry brandy , I used Bols
pinch of salt
scant cup of heavy cream
2/3 cup whole milk
50 grams each of milk and white chocolate chips

* Combine the first 5 ingredients in a medium saucepan , cook for 10 minutes ; stirring from time to time until the mixture are very soft . Let cool and transfer to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth ; - I got a cup of cherry puree from this cooked mixture - add the cream and milk and blend until smooth . transfer to a bowl and chill for at least an hour .
* Pour the mixture in an ice cream maker and churn ; add in the choco chips after the last minute of churning ; transfer to the freezerproof container and freeze overnight .

  9. You know what, I'm like you - I love cherries and Maltesers!

    Both overpriced and super expensive in KL though :( Used to be able to get them for cheap in UK.

  12. oo i have the hardest time when buying fresh produce! i always have huge plans of stuff i want to make with it, but once i get it home i just want to eat it straight. i think your canned cherries are a great idea - save the fresh stuff for snacking!

  13. LOL... guess we're the same coz I do tend to popped the cherries or chocolates in my mouth & ended up rushing to the store again! LOL I LOVE cherry ice -cream but our small mini cherry tree only produced 2 kg & not enough to even to make anything. My sons ate them within minutes! But it's still cherry season here so I will try your recipe & great we can use can cherry too! Cherry over here is expensive too & my hubby preferred to eat them than making a recipe with it too. :)
