👩‍🍳 How to Make Black Cherry Ice Cream

Step 1: Make the Cream Base

Pour the cold whipping cream into a large bowl.

Step 2: Sweeten It Up

Add the chilled sweetened condensed milk to the bowl.

Step 3: Flavor Boost

Stir in the maraschino liqueur (or your preferred alternative).

Step 4: Whip to Perfection

Using electric beaters, whip the mixture until soft and fluffy. You’re aiming for a semi-whipped consistency—not stiff peaks.

Step 5: Layer with Cherries

Start layering in your container:

  • Spoon in a 2 cm-thick layer of the cream base

  • Scatter a few cherries and drizzle a bit of syrup

  • Add another layer of cream (gently, to keep it airy)

  • Repeat until all ingredients are used

  • Finish with a final touch of cherries and syrup on top

Step 6: Marble the Magic

Drag a toothpick or skewer through the layers to create beautiful swirls.

Step 7: Freeze

Cover the container and freeze for at least 8 hours, or overnight for best texture.
