No Churn Cherry Ice Cream (3 ingredients)

Cherry ice cream makes a great treat for summer. This is a simple, easy and effortless recipe for the best no churn cherry ice cream. It uses only three ingredients and needs only 5 minutes of prep time. So creamy you don't need to churn it in an ice cream maker.

There are wonderful cherries in the market these days. Apart from eating them by the handful, we've been using them in desserts and pies. I made a mean cherry pie with my cherry pie filling, and of course, as always we make cherry jam, and chocolate cherry cheesecake every year. This no-churn cherry ice cream has now become the new favorite.

What does no churn mean?

I think no-churn is not a very common term in all parts of the world. No-churn simply means that you don't need an ice cream maker. It's referring to the paddle in an ice cream maker that turns (churns) the ice cream mixture from a liquid state to a creamy ice cream consistency.

Eggless | Gluten-free cherry ice cream

Since this is not a French custard-base, it has no egg yolks. This means it's naturally eggless. It is also gluten-free. With so many food-related allergies these days, ice creams like this are great to have on hand when you have kids, and their friends visit. You can also make this three-ingredient ice cream with other fruits. So don't forget to check out my other ice cream recipes.

Let's talk ingredients and substitutes (Save/Pin)

• Whipping cream - The higher the fat, the creamier your ice cream. I use 38% fat content in my whipping cream. With this recipe, I'm not calculating calories, so it's got to be full-fat cream. You can, of course, use low-fat cream but it will give you ice crystals, which means your ice cream will be a bit icy. Nothing wrong with that just as long as you know what to expect.
• Condensed milk - Condensed milk is sweetened which is why we do not add any additional sugar. I always use my homemade condensed milk made in just 5 mins recipe. The best thing about that recipe is that you can reduce the sugar. I highly recommend you taste the ice cream before you freeze it to ensure it's sweet. If necessary add a tablespoon or two of powdered sugar.
• Vanilla - I do not add more vanilla because condensed milk usually has vanilla in it. But feel free to add some more vanilla extract. 
• Cherries-  You can use fresh or frozen cherries. Both taste delicious. I highly recommend freezing the fruits for an hour then crushing the berries. This eliminates the ice crystals and adds flavor as well as color, and you get beautiful marbled ice cream. You can, of course, mix it some more if you prefer a very berry colored ice cream instead.

Useful Tips and Tools

• You can, of course, whip cream with a whisk. But as you can see in the video I use my hand mixer. Otherwise, I use my stand mixer - just makes it a lot quicker.
• Use a mixing bowl that will be large enough to hold all ingredients.
• Also, a spatula is a great tool when you need to fold ingredients.
• I use a fork to break the berries - this adds color and flavor to the base. 
• And, as I explained in my post on Tips, you want to use a good ice cream storage container. I love these insulated ice cream tubs and have been using these with great results. 

Cherry Filling for topping

I once used my popular cherry filling over this no-churn cherry ice cream. And since then its become a must-have on our cherry ice cream. That extra drizzle of sweet cherries just takes this homemade cherry to the next level. I highly recommend it.

And, did you know it takes just 5 minutes to make the cherry filling at home? That's less than the time you need to go buy some from the store. Here's my recipe with video.
