Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Sweet vanilla bean ice cream is the perfect match for a ribbon of tart morello cherry jam. This refreshing summer treat is made with Crofter’s Organic Morello Cherry Premium Spread.

Summer screams for cool treats like ice cream. There’s a saying about that, right? Now that it’s August, I dream about enjoying ice cream each and every day.

The Jam

I made this ice cream with Crofter’s Organic Morello Cherry Premium Spread, which is my new jam of choice. It’s tart and sweet at the same time, certified organic, and non-GMO verified. Crofter’s Organic has been a family-owned company for 30 years and is available everywhere.

Crofter's Morello Cherry Jam

Any jam you like will work in this recipe, but I recommend Crofter’s Organic Morello Cherry Premium Spread because it uses real fruit and has 33% less sugar than standard jams and jellies. Morello cherries are known to be super sour unless they are perfectly ripe. This jam uses the best cherries at the perfect point of ripeness so the flavor is tart but balanced. That makes for the perfect combination with rich and sweet ice cream!

Types of Ice Cream

There are two types of ice cream:

  • French-style ice cream has a custard base made with eggs which make it extra rich and creamy.
  • Philadelphia-style ice cream does not include eggs and is simple to make quickly and easily.

This recipe is Philadelphia-style ice cream since it does not have eggs. Since it’s so effortless to make, you wouldn’t have a problem whipping it up in an afternoon!

Equipment to Make Homemade Ice Cream

If you’re new to making ice cream, you may think you need lots of fancy equipment or tools. It’s much more simple than that. Spend $40 on a basic ice cream maker from Amazon and you’re good to go.

For storage, sure, you could buy the fancy ice cream tub designed for optimal ice cream storage, or, you can just use a metal loaf pan. I’ve been using my loaf pan lately and it works perfectly.

Making a Perfect Ribbon of Jam

It couldn’t be easier to create bold and thick ribbons of jam in ice cream. Simply lay 1/3 of the freshly churned ice cream in its container followed by a layer with a few tablespoons of jam. Spread the jam across and ice cream and repeat. When you scoop, it will create a beautiful ribbon!
