This Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream Cake is a delightful and refreshing dessert you can prepare during the hot summer days. What can be more satisfying than serving a big slice of ice cream cake with your friends or family.
This ice cream cake is very easy and quick to prepare. It consists of a moist and intense cherry brownie at the bottom, a no churn vanilla ice cream with bits of semisweet chocolate and served with a fresh cherry coulis. As it is an ice cream cake, it is best to make it in advance, like a day before, to have time to set.
As cherries are in season now, I’ve made this ice cream cake with fresh cherries, but feel free to change the fruits with any other seasonal fruits you like best. Berries are also a good alternative to cherries. Decorate the cake just before serving if you don’t want the fruits on top to be frozen.
The ice cream layer is extremely easy to prepare. No need to use store-bought ice cream and let it soften. For this no churn ice cream you need some chilled whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk and your favorite flavoring. This time it is vanilla, but use any other flavoring you like best, like almond, rum, mint, coffee, coconut extracts and so on.
