Why this Recipe Works
The idea for this cherry ice cream actually came from my long-standing plan to make amarena cherry ice cream. While I love the flavor, amarena cherries can be difficult to find. As I was thinking through different ice cream recipes, I realized one of my favorite desserts – a classic cherry cheesecake – would be just as amazing in frozen form. And I have to say, it turned out absolutely delicious!
Ingredients for Cherry Cheesecake Ice Cream
To make this delicious cherry cheesecake inspired ice cream, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Heavy cream & cream cheese as the base for the ice cream, the cream cheese gives it the real cheesecake vibe
- Cookies, I like to use either graham crackers or Biscoff, both work wonderfully
- Cherries, I prefer to use store-bought cherry pie filling
- Sugar, to add some sweetness
- Ice cream cones, to serve it in of course!
Cherry Cheesecake Flavor
Even though summer can sometimes take its time to arrive, this irresistible ice cream recipe brings a taste of sunshine to any day. I’m not exaggerating when I say this cherry cheesecake ice cream is truly incredible. It combines a luscious cherry swirl with rich, creamy cheesecake ice cream and crunchy spiced biscuits, giving you all the flavors of a classic cherry cheesecake in every scoop.
Delicious Homemade Ice Cream Recipes
Every year I find myself making more and more homemade ice cream, especially since buying my ice cream maker. It was a bit of an investment, but if you enjoy making ice cream as much as I do, it’s absolutely worth it.
Over the years I’ve created plenty of fantastic ice cream recipes using an ice cream maker, from refreshing sorbets to indulgent ice creams inspired by classic desserts. Every single one is incredibly tasty!
Ice Cream for Dessert
This cherry cheesecake ice cream is wonderfully creamy, and the cherry swirl takes it to the next level. Serve it in a cone for a classic treat or scoop it into a beautiful dessert glass for an elegant presentation. It’s a fun and refreshing alternative to a slice of cherry cheesecake.
The sweetness is just right for my taste, but if you prefer a less sweet ice cream, simply reduce the amount of sugar to suit your preference. 😉
