Cherry Rose Ice Cream Recipes

CHERRY-ROSE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Cook 1/2 cup water and sugar in 4-qt. saucepan on medium-high heat 1 to 2 min. or until sugar is completely dissolved, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon. Bring to boil; cook 7 min. or until slightly thickened. (Do not stir.) Stir in nuts; cook 6 to 9 min. or until nuts are evenly coated with glaze, stirring constantly. (Glaze will appear dry.) Cook and stir 1 to 3 min. or until glaze melts and caramelizes. Remove from heat; immediately stir in 1 Tbsp. drink mix. Spread onto foil-covered baking sheet; cool. Break into clusters. Reserve 1/3 cup nut clusters for garnish.
• Meanwhile, bring remaining water to boil. Pour over petals in small bowl; let stand 10 min. Stir in remaining drink mix.
• Stir undrained petals and remaining nut clusters into ice cream in large bowl until well blended. Spoon into 9x5-inch loaf pan. Freeze 2 hours. Unmold dessert just before serving. Serve topped with COOL WHIP and reserved nut clusters.

VANILLA CHERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the cream, milk, and sugar in a bowl. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir in the vanilla and almond extract. Add the cherries. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

HOMEMADE CHERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine cherries, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl and mix well. Set aside for 2 hours. Drain, reserving juice.
• Mash 1/2 the cherries with a fork or puree in a blender.
• Combine milk and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until sugar has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add reserved cherry juice, cream, pureed cherries, vanilla extract; mix to combine.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Add remaining quartered cherries and freeze for an additional 5 minutes. Ice cream should be nice and creamy. If you prefer it harder, transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before serving.

CHERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Melt chocolate and coconut oil together over a double boiler or in the microwave. Transfer to a small baking pan and freeze at least 1 hour. Use the tip of a knife to crack and remove from pan. Chop into 1/4-inch chunks (you should have 1 cup); set aside.
• In a blender, puree thawed cherries with lemon juice and salt. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Measure 1 1/4 cups (reserve the rest for another use). Combine milk, cream, corn syrup, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Strain into a bowl set in an ice-water bath. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 5 minutes. Stir in cherry puree. Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Freeze mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is the texture of soft serve, fold in chocolate chunks and Luxardo cherries. Transfer to a loaf pan and freeze, wrapped in plastic, up to 1 week. Let soften at room temperature 10 minutes before serving.

CHERRY RIPPLE, CHOCOLATE & ROSE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Line a 900g loaf tin with parchment or cling film. Tip the cherries into a food processor with 2 tbsp syrup from the tin, add the rose water and blend to a purée.
• Whip the cream until it holds soft peaks, then stir in the condensed milk and half the cherry purée. Pour roughly a third of the mixture into the loaf tin, swirl through some of the purée and scatter with chocolate, then repeat the layers until you've used all the ingredients up. Freeze for at least 4 hrs. Turn out the ice cream, slice and serve with biscuits and extra cherries, or use a scoop for balls to fill ice cream cones.
