Enjoy a delicious Amarena cherry ice cream, a creation by one of my favorite chefs, Christophe Felder, from his book “Les glaces qui rafraîchissent et qu’on adore,” this recipe is a true treasure for dessert lovers. The chef, known for his creativity, regularly shares irresistible recipes on his Instagram account, often co-written with Camille Lesecq.
It is with great pleasure that I reveal this recipe, which I have already made three times with the same success: each time, it’s a real delight!
The preparation of this amarena cherry ice cream begins with making a custard, a mixture of egg yolks, sugar, and milk, which you will gently heat without exceeding 82°C. Then, incorporate the amarena cherries and amaretto—I personally replaced it with a drop of bitter almond extract for a non-alcoholic version. Once the mixture is cooled, all you have to do is churn it and store it in the freezer.
And there you go! The preparation is simple and quick, and the much-anticipated moment of tasting arrives. To enhance your ice cream, don’t hesitate to serve it with amarena cherry syrup—a must! You can also add additional amarena cherries and some almonds for a crunchy touch. So, are you ready to treat yourself?
