At Food Network’s Summer Fest, it’s all about cherries this week.

This time, Sunny and I decided to do a joint post with the same dish.

Sunny and I have two different cooking styles – mine being traditional and hers being gluten and dairy free.

Black Forest M&M Ice Cream

Or….you can do what I did (because I don’t have an ice cream maker).

Several hours (a day before or overnight is even better) before you’re ready to make the ice cream, put a mixing bowl (something durable) in the freezer.

Put your ice cream mixture in the bowl, give it a good stir and put it back in the freezer. About every 30-45 minutes check on it, and using a hand mixer or even a large spoon mix it really good to break up the frozen chunks.

Continue to do this until you have ice cream consistency.

Aren’t those colorful swirls from the M&M’s so cute?

    Loving the fresh fruit that’s available this summer. Cherries included. I don’t own an ice maker either, so this will be perfect for me to try with the new KA mixer. Nice photos, it really looks delicious.

    ummmmm – what makes this “black forest”? Shouldn’t it be called frozen cherry cream with M&Ms.
