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.
Visit our joint post here at Ingredient Challenge Monday.
I ♥ Cherries!
I ♥ summertime!
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?
Enjoy!
