I dont think I've posted this so if I have oh well you get to see it again! This recipe was originally for Vanilla Ice cream but vanilla is too plain so I am doing cherry. If you want vanilla you will just leave out the cherries and juice and will have to play with the sugar amounts.
Ok here we go..Cherry Kefir Icecream!
1. Gather all your ingredients. You will need an empty ice cream container, about 5 cups of milk kefir, a jar of Maraschino Cherries, 1 cup of sugar, one 16 fl oz container of Heavy Whipping cream, and Vanilla extract (which I forgot to when I took the picture)
2. Pour your kefir into the empty ice cream container.
3. Pour your Whipping Cream in next. And add 2 tsps of vanilla extract.
4. Pour the juice of the cherries in and then add 1 cup of sugar.
5. Chop the Cherries into small pieces
6. Add them to your mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until the sugar seems dissolved.
7. Taste the mixture to be sure you've added enough sugar. It should be a little on the sweet side but not too sweet. Place in the freezer and stir throughout the day. This will be a hard icecream. If you have an icecream maker that would be better but I"m cheap and that is a frivolous buy in my household. I usually let mine sit on the table for about 15 minutes before we eat it and it will break apart with a spoon.
Kefir icecream has a bite to it. Some like it (all of us in our house) and some do not. It is a great probiotic to add to your diet. Hope you enjoy it!
