For Making Ice Cream Base

For Making Cherry Compote:

  • Put 400 grams of cherries in a jug and blend until smooth using a food processor or immersion blender. You should strain the blended cherries.
  • Add the blended cherries to a small pot with two tablespoons of sugar, one tablespoon of lemon juice, ⅛ teaspoon of cinnamon, and two tablespoons of pectin.
  • Stir constantly, and put it on the stove for about 30 minutes or until it has been reduced to one cup.
  • Add one teaspoon of Kirsch to this cherry compote after cooling. Now put your ice cream base in a container and chill in the refrigerator.
  • Simultaneously put the churning bowl in just before you start churning.

For Making Black Forest Ice Cream

  • Use an ice cream maker or churner to churn the ice cream until it has a soft serve consistency.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a container that has already been refrigerated, stack the ice cream and cherry compote.
  • Cover and freeze overnight or for about four hours until hard.
  • Take out your black forest ice cream from the freezer, scoop, and enjoy serving!
