With this summer cherry pie ice cream, you won’t have to decide between pie and ice cream, because you can have them both at the same time. And, since crushed golden sandwich cookies are folded into this ice cream to give it its pie-like crust, you won’t even need to worry about turning your oven on during the hot summer heat. There really is no better way to enjoy fresh summer cherries than this sweet, creamy, and absolutely decadent frozen dessert.
I keep telling B.O.B. Bob that we need to forego dinner one evening this summer and walk down the street to our local ice cream parlor instead. However, if I’m being totally honest, I think we might enjoy staying at home and eating a bowl of homemade ice cream a whole lot more. I mean, come on, chain restaurant ice cream is just chain restaurant ice cream. It’s almost always overly sweet and the flavors usually aren’t all that exciting. At least not at the ice cream parlors we have in our little town. Perhaps that’s just one of the reasons why we always tend to get the same exact thing when we do finally get around to visiting one. For me, it’s usually a dipped cone or a cup of mint chocolate chip ice cream. And for B.O.B. Bob, it’s usually something with chocolate or Reese’s involved.
I know, I know, certainly not the most impressive ice cream choices and definitely not as exciting or delicious as this decadent summer cherry pie flavor. So, maybe a better idea would be to take a nice, long, leisurely summer stroll past our local ice cream parlor while eating our homemade ice cream out of super-cute festive melamine bowls. Heck, I bet we manage to turn a few heads and make at least a few people jealous while doing so. Especially if we stick our tongues out at everyone while chanting, “Na-na, na-na, boo-boo, our ice cream is better than yours.” Yeah, when it comes to flaunting our amazing homemade ice cream, we’re definitely petty like that.
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Sweet Cherries, Pitted & Finely Chopped (Approximately 1 Pint of Cherries)
- 2/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Sea Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 1/2 Cups Whole Milk
- 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
- 15 OREO Golden Sandwich Cookies, Crushed
Directions:
- Place the cherries, sugar, salt, and cinnamon into a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Place the cooled cherry mixture into a large glass bowl. Add the milk, cream, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
- Tightly cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Place the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn until ice cream consistency has been reached.
- Fold the crushed cookies into the ice cream and then freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving.
Suggestions:
- Make sure to remove and discard all of the pits from the cherries. I usually run my clean fingers through the cherries after I have pitted and chopped them to double-check that none were missed.
- If fresh cherries are not available, you can replace them with frozen cherries.
Improvements:
- Fold a 1/4-cup of finely chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds into the ice cream.
- Replace the golden sandwich cookies with vanilla wafer cookies.
- Add finely crushed graham crackers to the ice cream instead of crushed cookies.
