Sour Cherry Ice Cream

Sour cherry ice cream is a popular ice cream flavour with the distinctive tangy taste of sour cherries and an intense red-purple colour. It is made from sour cherry juice or purée, milk or cream, sugar and eggs. The combination of a creamy base with the tartness of sour cherries creates a refreshing flavour contrast. In the kitchen it can be used as part of desserts, for example in sundaes, parfaits or as an accompaniment to cakes. It is also excellent paired with chocolate, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Sour cherry ice cream is particularly popular during the summer months and can easily be prepared at home using an ice cream maker or a freezer.
