Almond cherry ice cream is a perfect blend of the delicate sweetness of almond and the sweet tartness of cherries. If you love flavors that are both subtle and fruity, this recipe is for you. The combination of almond and cherry is simply magical, and thanks to Ninja Creami, you'll get an ice cream with an ultra-creamy texture and lovely cherry pieces in every bite.
Ingredients :
- 300 ml of almond milk (or whole milk if you prefer a richer texture)
- 100g of almond puree (or 100g of almond flour if you want a more grainy texture)
- 100g of fresh or frozen cherries (pitted and cut into pieces)
- 2 tablespoons of agave syrup (or adjust to your taste)
- 1 teaspoon of almond extract (optional, but it intensifies the flavor)
- A pinch of salt (optional, but it brings out all the flavors)
Preparation :
- Prepare the almond base.
In a bowl, thoroughly mix the almond milk, almond butter, agave syrup, and almond extract. If using almond flour, mix well until everything is homogeneous. The almond aroma is so comforting that you'll already feel like you're traveling. Whisk well to obtain a smooth texture. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container.
Transfer your mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the MAX FILL . Then, place it in the freezer for 24 hours . Again, patience is key here, but trust me, you won't regret it. - Churn using the Ice Cream program.
The next day, take out the container and insert it into the Ninja Creami. Start the "Ice Cream" . In just a few minutes, you'll have ice cream with a creamy and delicate texture, perfectly complemented by the almond flavor. - Add the cherry pieces using the Extra mode
. For the finishing touch, add the chopped cherries, then use the "Mix-In" to thoroughly incorporate them. This mode keeps the cherries in pieces without crushing them, creating a wonderful contrast with the sweetness of the almond ice cream. - Respin Tip:
If the texture is too firm after the first cycle, use the Respin to soften it. If needed, you can also add a little almond milk to make the ice cream even creamier.
My Personal Tip:
For an even more indulgent treat, I recommend adding some toasted almond slivers on top for a bit of crunch, or using the Extra function. And if you really want to delight your taste buds, a drizzle of honey over the ice cream when serving will make this dessert absolutely irresistible.
Your almond cherry ice cream is ready! It's an explosion of flavors: the sweetness of almond combined with the tangy, fruity taste of cherries—a true delight with every spoonful. And with Ninja Creami, the texture is always perfect, creamy and melt-in-your-mouth, with those little pieces of cherry adding a fruity and refreshing touch. Enjoy without moderation!
