It’s that time of year when stone fruits are in season! I love the delicious peaches, plums, and especially cherries. I just think that stone fruits are the most delicious of all the fruits. My favorite stone fruit is the cherry. I absolute love the sweet and slightly tart flavor of cherries. I like both the Bing cherry and the Rainier cherry but I think the Bing’s are my favorite. The problem is that they cost 6-7 dollars per pound most of the year. Now that they are in season they are down to 3 dollar per pound so I picked up a few pounds to make my favorite desserts and beverages.
One thing I’ve been working on is ice cream that doesn’t require an ice cream maker. I recently saw a recipe for cherry cream cheese ice cream. It sounded amazing and I wanted to do something similar. I made a base with cherries, lemon juice, and sweetened condensed milk. Normally I’d use a lot of sugar but using the sweetened condensed milk allowed me to eliminate the extra sugar in the recipe. I mixed it up with fresh whipped cream and froze it in the freezer.
The resulting ice cream was similar to soft serve. It had a light and creamy base dotted with fresh cherry halves. It’s a refreshing and delicious summer dessert that is great on its own but would also be delicious on top of pie.
