No Churn Cherry Ice Cream
Summer is the season of cherries so we are enjoying all desserts that are cherry flavored, like Cherry Pie Cookie Cups or Classic Cherry Delight. But nothing beats an easy homemade ice cream recipe for the summer!
This homemade cherry ice cream will surprise you with how easy it is to make. It’s an easy ice cream without a machine and it always turns out with the perfect texture and creamy consistency!

Ingredients Needed
- Heavy whipping cream: make sure it is cold when you are mixing.
- Sweetened condensed milk: This adds the sweetness and thickness to the ice cream. I recommend regular (not low or nonfat).
- Cherry pie filling: you can use a store-bought can or try the best cherry pie filling recipe I ever made. Using pie filling makes it easy – not pits to remove!
Variations
- Turn this into Cherry Garcia Ice Cream by adding some dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips (or a swirl of hot fudge).
- You can even make my cherry ice cream pie with this recipe!

Expert Tips

- Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to bring out the creamy flavor of the milk
- Do this same thing with blueberry pie filling or any pie filling you like.

I love Ice cream and I will make this here in Philippines.
So easy and the Ice cream is delicious.
Can you just use Cool Whip?
2 containers (8 ounces each) can be substituted for the heavy whipping cream. The texture is a little different (softer/almost chewier) but I like it just as much.
