No Churn Cherry Dark Chocolate Ice Cream

Cherry ice cream

I’ve wanted an ice cream maker for years! The problem is, I don’t want one bad enough to buy it from the store. Year after year I go yard-sailing hoping that someone is going to sell a super nice one for super cheap.

It just seems like it would be one those kitchen gadgets that someone would buy, use a couple of times, and sell….. and there I would be, ready to snatch it up with a feeling of victory……..but- that never happened.

Instead, I made an ice cream recipe that doesn’t need a machine, and I think its pretty awesome, its No-Churn Cherry Dark Chocolate Ice Cream! In fact, my ice cream loving husband told me I outdid myself- he loved it!! That says a lot considering he’s an ice cream snob!

Besides that, it tastes great!

Why make it?

The ingredients have changed a bit since the early days of ice cream making. Have you turned over the carton lately and checked out whats in yours? Most ice cream you find on the shelf will have ingredients like:

  • Vanillin- could cause headache, nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, kidney damage
  • Artificial flavors- could cause dizziness, chest pain, brain damage, seizures, and much more!
  • Carrageenan- potential side effects are ulcerative colitis, inflammation, liver cancer, birth defects, and more!
  • Dyes-can cause ADHD, hives, cancer, asthma, and more!
  • Natural flavors- could be many things, but a lot of times its MSG!
  • …..and believe it or not, some are even adding air to increase the volume! How about Diethyl glycol? No big deal, it’s only used as a paint solvent and used in anti-freeze for engines- and this replaces eggs! I also read that the FDA wouldn’t allow it in toothpaste, but of course, you can eat it……

    I made this tonight for my kids but used Strawberry and Vanilla extract instead of cherries and almond extract (which I will definitely do next time), and they loved it!!!!! We do not give our kids any sweets after dinner but this will be an exception! It was delicious. My kids thank you Elke, lol!
