Black cherry ice cream is one of the most popular summer desserts, a great classic of Italian ice cream that never goes out of style. Making it at home is actually easier and quicker than you might imagine: you won’t need an ice cream maker, just a pair of electric whisks and a plum cake mold, preferably in steel and with a lid. The presence of condensed milk will also allow you to obtain a creamy ice cream that does not freeze, much more delicious and genuine than the one purchased at the ice cream shop.

After combining the cream with the condensed milk, add the maraschino liqueur and whip everything with the whisks until you obtain a fluffy and soft cream. At this point, alternate the mixture obtained with the black cherries, sprinkling the layers with their preserving syrup, and leave to rest in the freezer for at least 8 hours. To create the typical variegated effect, simply mix the mixture delicately with a wooden toothpick or, like ours, a steel one. Once ready, the black cherry variegated ice cream can be enjoyed in all its goodness.

We suggest serving it in cups, accompanied by wafers, biscuits or crumbled meringues: it will conquer even the most demanding guest.
