With only six ingredients, you can make homemade black cherry ice cream. This silky smooth ice cream recipe has a cream cheese like taste with bursts of sweetness from the cherries.
Add cherries, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup of water to a medium sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until cherries are softened and a syrup has formed in the bottom of the pan.
Once the cream and milk begin to steam, slowly add in sugar mixture in small batches, whisking continuously. Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture has slightly thickened.
Press a piece of plastic wrap over the mixture to prevent a skin from forming on top. Chill the ice cream base until it reaches around 40-42°F (4-5°C), or up to overnight.
