Roasted Cherry Ice Cream Recipes

ROASTED CHERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Mix the cherries and the sugar in a deep pan. Roast for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. By the end, the cherries should be soft and wilted. Set them aside to cool.
• Once the cherries are cool enough to handle, separate the stones from the flesh. The stones should pop out easily when you squeeze the cherries.
• Add the cherry stones and the cream to a saucepan. Bring the cream to a simmer on the stove. Then remove from the heat, cover, and leave to cool down.
• Blend the cherry flesh in a food processor. Depending on your food processor you may then need to strain the puree through a sieve to get rid of any bits.
• Remove the cherry stones from the cream. Add 282g of the cherry puree to the cream. Then add the salt and the lemon juice. And give it another go in the food processor until well mixed and smooth.
• Transfer the mixture to a vessel with a lid and refrigerate until around 42°F (6°C).
• Add the mixture to your ice cream maker and churn it until it has the consistency of whipped cream. This usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes. Transfer to a plastic freezer box and freeze for at least an hour.
• After an hour it should just be firm enough to serve without it melting too quickly. If you leave it longer and it's too hard to scoop, leave it in the fridge for a while to soften slightly.

BALSAMIC ROASTED CHERRY ICE CREAM (WITHOUT ICE CREAM MAKER)

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 160°C and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix the Cherries with Balsamic Glaze and Vanilla Extract.
• Spread the Cherries on the baking sheet so that they do not overlap and roast them at 160°C for 20-25 minutes, Let it cool.
• Meanwhile in a medium saucepan, over medium heat, bring Sugar, Milk and Salt to a simmer.
• Whisk the Eggs in a small bowl and from the simmering milk add about 4 tbsp milk to temper the eggs. Mix well.
• Very slowly, pour the egg mixture into the simmering milk mixture, stirring constantly so that you do not scramble the eggs.
• Continue whisking after adding the eggs until the custard has thickened. Remove from heat.
• Prepare an ice-bath in a large bowl and place the heavy cream in a medium bowl over the ice-bath.
• Strain the custard through a sieve into the bowl with cream and discard any solids.
• Fold in gently half of the Balsamic roasted Cherries and pour this mixture in an air tight container. Keep aside the other half of the roasted cherries.
• Now press a cling film onto the surface of the ice cream making sure there are no air spaces between the ice cream and the film. Cover with a lid and refrigerate.
• Take the mixture out every 2 hours and churn it with an electric hand mixer. Refrigerate again.
• Repeat the above step for 3-4 times or until there are no water crystals left in the ice cream. Remember to refrigerate everytime with the cling film.
• Add in the rest of the roasted cherries when you churn it for the last time. Press cling film on to the surface and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
• Note : If you are using an Ice Cream maker skip steps 11-14. Follow the instructions on your Ice Cream maker and add the rest of the roasted cherries when 2 mins are left for the churning to complete.
