Combine the cherries, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan and allow to cook over a low heat until the mixture is jam-like.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool down. The mixture should be completely cool when layering with ice cream.
In a bowl, whisk the sugar and egg yolks until light and creamy.
In a saucepan, heat the crème fraîche and milk until it reaches boiling point then temper over the sugar and egg yolk mixture.
Allow to cool down then churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.
Once churned, scoop a few spoonfuls of the ice cream into a container then add a few spoonfuls of the cherry compote. Continue layering then cover with a lid/plastic wrap and store in the freezer until ready to serve.
