Tart and Tangy Buttermilk Ice Cream sweetened with a touch of Luxardo Cherries. This combination is going to become your new favorite flavor!
Buttermilk Ice Cream
Are you a fan of tangy frozen yogurt? If so, this buttermilk ice cream will blow your taste buds away! It’s tart and tangy and totally reminds me of unsweetened yogurt, but then I added the Luxardo Cherries to it and the sweet and tangy come together in an explosion of yumminess in your mouth.
Ok, so explosion might be a bit, but it was really, really good. I loved this combo!
My first introduction to Luxardo Cherries
Have you had them before? I’ve heard wonderful things about them in cocktails. In fact, this past weekend, I was out to dinner and they had a drink that was served with Luxardo Cherries and juice! WOW!
I know that the price tag is a bit daunting, but really, it’s so worth it.
The Four Seasons actually served a chocolate ice cream with the Zuccotto… I just happened to have six egg yolks from a failed macaron attempt and this ice cream recipe just about jumped into my lap. The new macaron recipe was such an ultimate failure that I came back to my trusty recipe from Sprinkle Bakes and found this buttermilk ice cream just waiting to be made.
It was fate. I swear by it!
I loved this ice cream and I’m sure that you will too. You can add just about any fruit to sweeten up the buttermilk. Or mix in some candy and have a fun dessert!
Enjoy!
This dessert is part two of a three part series including Amartti Cookies and Chocolate Zuccotto.
