Cherry Ice Cream - this four ingredient ice cream celebrates the fresh fruity flavors of summer - find the fresh cherries and have ice cream in no time!
Are you tired of the Summer of Cherries yet?
I hope not, because I'm just getting warmed up. (A favorite Al Pacino line... extra points if you know it.)
I am really digging the cherry tree in our yard. Even standing at the counter pitting each and every one, that has become sort of relaxing. I have cherries in my freezer, in my dehydrator, and in all kinds of recipes lately.
This Cherry Ice Cream is simple, sweet and satisfying on a hot day. Just four ingredients and you can enjoy it too!
Hoo Haah. Hoo Haaaaaah.

But let me ask you this....
Can you tie a cherry string in your mouth?
I can't. I'm not that cool.

I swear, every cherry recipe you post looks better than the last (and you started with some pretty high standards!). So yeah, if you're just getting warmed up, I can't wait to see what else is coming! Especially if I can read about it while enjoying some cherry ice cream...
spabettie says
I know, I will get a random idea out of nowhere, something else to make with cherries. I have not tired of them yet! 🙂

Evan Thomas says
I'm so happy it's cherry season. A little fudge sauce on this and I'd be in heaven.
spabettie says
yes... I definitely need to do that before this is gone.
Caitlin@The Vegan Chickpea says
wow- i'm super jealous that you have a cherry tree!! i haven't had cherries in ages because they are just too darn expensive to buy.
this ice cream reminds me of cherry water ice that i used to get at rita's. it was always my favorite as a child 😉
spabettie says
the cherry expense - exactly why I feel so lucky to have a tree, this thing is GOLD! 🙂 we have really been enjoying the tree...
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Scent of a Woman!!!! Love that movie! I could never get tired of cherry recipes. We bought a bag the other day and we ate it all in one day...I need to get more! This looks amazing!
spabettie says
ding ding ding, you got it! I love that movie too, never gets old. cherries never get old - you should see how many I eat as I am pitting them... 😉
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
You're killing me with the cold desserts! Looks fantastic. I sure wish you could ship some to me!
spabettie says
I would if I could! XO
Maryea {Happy Healthy Mama} says
You have a cherry tree?! Jealous.
spabettie says
I know!! we were totally surprised when the tree in our front yard started producing fruit - when we bought the house this spring we had no idea!
