Coconut with Roasted Cherries Ice Cream
This is the second installment of our ice cream adventures. I really loved this coconut ice cream. The cherries were a nice touch too. We had a ton of sour cherries from the farm so we decided to use some of those up. We thought if we roasted them with enough sugar that would balance out the tart. It made a nice sweet syrup, but the cherries were still really tart. We ended up making two batches of this and the first batch we added too many cherries I think. It was a little too tart. Had we used normal cherries I think those would have worked out a little better. Live and learn right? It didn't ruin the ice cream at all, but I would have liked a little less tart. Here is the link for the recipe if you want to give it a try. On to the next flavor!
