Crème fraîche and cherry compote ice cream

When I first tasted this ice cream, I couldn’t believe that it could be this delicious. You know when something is just SO good you keep digging your spoon in almost subconsciously (Please tell me I’m not alone) ? That is what happened here. Before I knew it I had eaten half of it. And look, I’m not the biggest ice cream fan. I would much rather use up those calories on a burger but damn, this is some good stuff.

Crème fraîche and cherry compote ice cream

The crème fraîche makes this ice cream so ridiculously creamy, it’s almost buttery and the cherry compote is the perfect tart component to break through that richness. I also love how the cherries become chewy and almost toffee-like in texture once frozen. This is definitely one of those stand-out recipes that will have your family and friends swooning. Guaranteed!
