No Churn Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream has the old fashioned flavor we remember from our childhoods without all of the work! 
I dearly love cherry vanilla ice cream and this one is right on the money! The best part, though, is that you don’t need an ice cream freezer! Just mix it up, spread it into a pan, and place in your regular freezer in your kitchen. The recipe is below and you’ve got to taste it to believe it! 
To make this, you’ll need: Heavy Cream, Sweetened Condensed milk, Vanilla, and a cup of Candied Cherries, chopped*.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Pour in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla and stir by hand until incorporated.
- Spoon half of this into a freezer safe container (I’m just using a Pyrex loaf pan here) and top with half of the chopped candied cherries. Swirl with a knife just a bit. Top with the remaining ice cream mixture and the remaining cherries and swirl once more.
*See recipe card at bottom for substitution option.
Cover this with foil or cling wrap and freeze for 5-6 hours or overnight. When it is time to serve, remove the container from the freezer and let sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften.
Enjoy this incredibly easy and incredibly delicious No Churn Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream.

Have you checked out my recipe for Water Pie yet? It’s not a joke, it’s delicious! Click here
Very pleased to see recipe for ice cream without a ice cream maker! Question: can this be made low sugar for Diabetics, a substitution?
Where is heavy cream, in grocery? A picture please.
You can make this low sugar by making your own sweetened condensed milk with a sugar substitute.
Looks so easy & yummy! But can you do this with fresh cherries or other fruit? The candied cherries really gross me out lol!
I would love to know that also
Love, love cherry vanilla ice cream. Thanks for the easy recipe.
With hot summers in Texas, this recipe sounds very refreshing! I can’t wait to try it.
love homemade ice cream, can you make this in an electric freezer to speed up process maybe, just wondering
I haven’t tried that before. If you do, let us know how it works.
My Daddy used to love eating a dish of ice cream every night before bed and I think he would have loved this. We sadly lost him last year on April 29, 2020. Because of Covid we weren’t able to see him in the hospital before he passed. I was very comforted to know that I was the last person to speak to him on the phone before he passed and he even said an extra “I Love you” when we were hanging up…I love him and miss him every day but am happy that he and my Mama are reunited after 14 yrs apart…my Husband LOVES ice cream too and I know he’ll love this so I’ll make it for the two of them…they were/are 2 of the greatest Father’s/Men I’ve ever known.
So very sorry for your loss Lynn!
Would this work if you wanted to churn it in an ice cream machine? I love the smooth texture of churned ice cream!
