    Do you love all of Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavors?

    There are some like Cherry Garcia ice cream that I absolutely can not get enough of. And because I love it so much, I'm going to love making what I think is the best homemade ice cream recipe again and again.

    Cherry Garcia Ice Cream

    Serve this up in a yummy chocolate ice cream bowl, add some cherries and you've got yourself the perfect dessert recipe.

    Of course if you're not in the mood for ice cream, you can always try our almost famous Banana Cream Dessert, Fruit Pudding, or in keeping with the cherry idea behind this post--Cherry Crepes.

    Best Homemade Ice Cream Recipe

    Besides a few ingredients from the store, all you need to make Cherry Garcia ice cream is an ice-cream maker. Our KitchenAid ice cream maker is amazing. It's easy to use and the ice cream always turns out fantastic.

    Don't be intimidated by the idea of making homemade ice cream.  It isn't difficult at all.  Mix the ingredients together, and let the ice cream maker do the rest of the work.  It's really that easy.

      Oh yes, Cherry Garcia is one of my top five fav B&J ice cream flavors. This looks oh, so good! And guess what? This flavor is wonderful with a bit of Chambord liqueur poured over it!

      I don't see where you cook the custard. This would mean ingesting raw eggs. Did I miss something?

        Hi Debbie! Great point. We use pasteurized egg beaters to avoid any problems. I updated the recipe to include this alternative. I know some people are fine with raw eggs... personally, I agree with you and prefer pasteurized. Enjoy!
