Cherry almond ice cream is the perfect blend of the delicate sweetness of almonds and the sweet acidity of cherries. If you like subtle yet fruity flavors, this recipe is for you. The combination of almonds and cherries is simply magical, and thanks to the Ninja Creami, you'll get an ice cream with an ultra-creamy texture and lovely cherry bursts in every bite.
Ingredients :
- 300 ml almond milk (or whole milk if you prefer a richer texture)
- 100g almond puree (or 100g almond powder if you want a more granular texture)
- 100g fresh or frozen cherries (pitted and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup (or adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon 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, combine the almond milk, almond puree, agave syrup, and almond extract. If using almond powder, mix well until everything is evenly blended. The almond flavor is so comforting that you'll 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, put everything in the freezer for 24 hours . Again, patience is key here, but trust me, you won't regret it. - Turbine with the Ice Cream program
The next day, remove the container and insert it into the Ninja Creami. Start the "Ice Cream" . In a few minutes, you will have an ice cream with a creamy and delicate texture, with all the flavor of almonds that already blends wonderfully. - Add cherry pieces with the Extra mode
For the final touch, add the chopped cherries, then use the "Mix-In" to incorporate them well. This mode keeps the cherries in pieces without crushing them, which creates a great 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 necessary, 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 a few toasted almond slivers on top for a little crunch or using the Extra setting. And if you really want to treat your taste buds, a drizzle of honey over the ice cream before serving will make this dessert absolutely irresistible.
Your cherry almond ice cream is ready! It's an explosion of flavors: the sweetness of almonds combined with the tangy, fruity side of cherries, a true delight with every spoonful. And with Ninja Creami, the texture is always perfect, creamy and melting, with those little pieces of cherries that add a fruity and refreshing touch. Enjoy without moderation!
