I love making this homemade Cherry Garcia Ice Cream loaded with fresh, sweet cherries and real chocolate chunks. It’s the best summer treat.

Homemade Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Recipe

It’s my favorite time of year – Ice Cream season! Well, I love ice cream year round, but there’s just something about cold ice cream on a hot summer day. Today I am celebrating all things Ice Cream with my favorite Ice Cream flavor – Homemade Cherry Garcia Ice Cream. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia Ice Cream! Yes, I enjoy chocolate, strawberry, coffee, peppermint, vanilla, and everything in between, but there is something about the cherries and dark chocolate that just sing to me. This amazing version is made with fresh, sweet cherries and chocolate chunks! 

Do you have all the supplies to make your own homemade ice cream? I have a KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment, but I have a lot of friends who have the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence 2-Quart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker. I don’t think that you can make actual ice cream in a Yonanas Deluxe Ice Cream Treat Maker, but it does make some good sherbet (find some yummy sherbet recipes here).

Don’t forget the accessories! You’ll need fun new Ice Cream Bowls and an Ice-Cream Scoop. Do you need a new ice cream recipe book? Or you can try this ice cream book. Of course, my favorite is the Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book!

And don’t forget an entire summer’s worth of Sprinkles! The kids are going to go crazy when they see all those rainbow jimmies.

So, get ready for ice cream season and start making your own favorite ice cream flavors at home.

I hope that you and your family love this easy and delicious Cherry Garcia Ice Cream recipe. *Making this recipe? Take a picture and share it on Instagram! Make sure to tag it #PintSizedBaker so I can see what you’re baking up in the kitchen!

Notes

I used a KitchenAid Stand and KitchenAid Ice Cream Attachment.

Place the Ice Cream into a plastic or glass container to freeze overnight. I don’t have any metal ice cream containers. To prevent it from getting icy, place plastic wrap on the ice cream to seal it and keep air from it.
