This Cherry Pie Ice Cream Recipe is to die for!!

Cherry Pie Ice Cream Recipe

Written by Becky

For my little lady’s first birthday we celebrated with everything Cherry including this Homemade Cherry Pie Ice Cream!  This ice cream recipe is adapted from one out of my Freezer cookbook, combining my classic Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Recipe and flavors of cherry pie.  It’s easily one of my all time favorite recipes.  When pie meets ice cream, you simply can’t go wrong in my book!

Two of the best things - Cherry Pie and Homemade Ice Cream, in one delicious bite!

There are three steps or parts to this recipe, (the ice cream base, the cherry jam and the graham cracker crumble) but I promise it’s worth it!  For a recipe like this I like to make it for a special occasion, over the weekend, or when we’re invited out for dinner so I can really just focus on this completely without having to make other foods.  For Ruthie’s Cherry Party I made this ice cream a few days in advance and we got take-out for dinner.. so whatever works.  Ice cream is always worth it!

Your going to want a few scoops when you try this recipe for Cherry Pie Ice Cream!

About the Recipe

• Start with making the custard base for the ice cream, then while it’s cooling in the fridge, you can make the graham cracker crumble and cherry pie jam.

• For the graham cracker crumble you may use gluten free grahams and flour for a totally gluten free ice cream.

• All of the parts to this recipe may be made in advance.

• To layer the ice cream for the fridge, simply layer in your storage container ice cream with a swirl of jam then graham cracker crumble.  Repeat this a few times until the container is full.
