Print Recipe

A no-churn ice cream featuring roasted cherries and real vanilla bean for a creamy, dreamy, and refreshing frozen treat with deep caramelized cherry flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted (sweet or tart)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 whole vanilla bean, split and scraped (or 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Pit about 2 cups of fresh cherries and toss them with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the cherries in the oven for 15-20 minutes until softened and caramelized, watching carefully after 15 minutes to avoid burning.
  4. Remove cherries from the oven and let them cool completely to room temperature.
  5. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a sharp knife. Set aside the seeds and pod.
  6. In a cold mixing bowl, whip 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
  7. In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with the vanilla bean seeds and a pinch of salt.
  8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a rubber spatula, keeping it light and airy.
  9. Fold in the cooled roasted cherries, including any juices from the pan.
  10. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
  11. Before serving, let the ice cream sit out for 5 minutes to soften slightly.

Notes

Cool cherries completely before folding into the ice cream base to prevent melting. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid over-whipping. Fold gently to keep the mixture airy. Freeze in a shallow container for faster, even freezing. Vanilla bean pod can be steeped in cream before whipping for extra flavor.
