Fresh cherries and chewy almond paste create a gourmet cherry almond ice cream. Coarsely mashing cherries maintains their tartness, which pairs well with the nutty sweetness of almond paste. This mixture can be turned into a sundae with whipped cream and toppings. For best results, ripe cherries from farmers' markets should be used, or thawed frozen cherries can substitute. Different ice cream makers will have varying processing methods, and chilling the mixtures before use significantly improves texture.
The addition of fresh, ripe cherries and chewy, gooey almond paste turns a summer classic into a gourmet delight. Coarsely mashed cherries preserve their fresh tartness, complementing the nutty sweetness of almond paste.
Serve as a sundae with fresh whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, and toasted almonds. If cherries aren't available, raspberries or peaches can be used with almond flavor.
For compressor ice cream makers, mix right after whisking without heating. For frozen canister models, chill the mixture for at least 2 hours for best results.
Combine cherries and a tablespoon of sugar in a bowl, mash until coarsely broken. Whisk together milk, salt, and sugar until dissolved before chilling.
