We’ve created a glorious, ice cream with Middle Eastern notes, that not only tastes amazing but is super easy to make – no churning necessary. Perfect for a warm sunny celebration.

Method:

  • The day before you want to serve the dessert — mix the condensed milk, vanilla and rose water or orange blossom in a large bowl. Stir well to combine.

  • Whip the cream to soft peaks — around 3-4 minutes in a stand mixer or with electric beaters.

  • Gently fold into the condensed milk, and place in a container. Freeze overnight.

  • For the cherries: place all ingredients in a large saucepan.

  • Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a minimum.

  • Allow to simmer for 15 minutes, until the cherries are soft and the liquid, syrupy. Remove remove from heat and cool down completely.

  • Serve scoops of the ice cream topped with cherries in individual bowls or pretty glasses.
