Brandied Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This recipe draws on David Lebovitz's Strawberry Sour Cream Ice Cream for inspiration. I love the tangyness (yes, I just made that word up!) of the Sour Cream with the sweetness of the fruit. |
| Grab a spoon! |
1 1/2 pounds fresh Cherries, pitted
Sprinkle with:
3/4 cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons French Brandy
Toss and cover for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
When Cherries are juicy, add:
1 Cup Sour Cream
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
Blend together with an immersion blender.
Stir in 1/2 cup mini Chocolate Chips
Pour mixture into the bowl of an ice cream maker and mix for about 30 minutes until it reaches desired consistency. In the event that you have any left, store it in your freezer in an air-tight container!
Yum!

Brandied cherries are the best! Incorporating them in ice cream is brilliant!

I'm making the Olive Oil Ice Cream today. Brandied Cherry Chocolate Chip ICe Cream? Olive Oil ICe Cream? Where's the justice?
ReplyDeleteWow Susan, this looks amazing. Is there any left to share, LOL?
ReplyDeleteSusan, I am in LOVE!!! I am on such an ice cream kick lately. Maybe it's the weather. But I love that you can create just about any flavor in your imagination. And I love where you are taking us on this one! Cherries soaked in brandy...I could eat a bowl of that on it's own!!! But mixing this all together with chocolate....is the ultimate! This looks fabulous! : )
ReplyDeleteA MUST to make! Love your creations... Blessings and HAPPY Ice Cream making and eating!
