Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-churn ice cream featuring tart frozen cherries and rich dark chocolate chunks, perfect for summer and requiring no ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) frozen cherries, thawed and pitted
  • ¾ cup (120 g) dark chocolate chunks, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Thaw the cherries at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Drain any excess juice and toss cherries with lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream using a spatula until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold in the thawed cherries and chopped dark chocolate chunks evenly, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container and smooth the top. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
  6. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
  7. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for faster whipping. Fold ingredients gently to keep the airy texture. If ice cream freezes too hard, let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Chilling chocolate chunks before folding helps prevent sinking. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with canned coconut cream and condensed milk with sweetened coconut condensed milk.
