Cherry Amaretto No-Churn Ice Cream with Almonds started with having some extra heavy whipping cream left over from all the Christmas cooking. The family voted and it was unanimous. Cherry Amaretto Ice Cream was their favorite! You can’t make it any simpler. A can of cherry pie filling, some almonds along with amaretto liqueur folded into some heavy whipping cream and yields a dessert your family and friends will applaud. No need for special equipment! A mixer and a freezer is you need for an outstanding frozen dessert. This recipe has been updated from the original December 2015 in order to provide a better experience for our readers. Last update December 2018.
No Churn Ice-Cream is an easy frozen dessert
I’m almost embarrassed to admit how very easy this is to put together.
Almost . . . but not quite.
How can I keep this very delicious ice cream to myself? And really, who has to know how very easy a dessert this is? After all, it’s just between friends, right??
No- Churn Ice Cream is versatile
I have another no-churn ice cream I’d made around Thanksgiving that I planned to post. But after tasting this rich, creamy dessert, I had to hurry and share this recipe.
This dessert is a delightful addition during the Christmas season.
In fact, I think Cherry Amaretto No-Churn Ice Cream would even make an elegant Valentine’s Day dessert — just drizzle a little chocolate on top if you want to make it even more special. Yum!

Lisa says
The simplicity of this gorgeous pink ice cream is mind boggling — and that can of cherry pie filling (my personal favorite) is calling my name. I’ve made cherry amaretto ice cream before –making a custard, chilling it, pulling out the ice cream maker and churning. It’s not a quick process, so I really appreciate this oh-so-much-easier method.

Debra says
What? No churning, no ice cream maker needed? I’m in! Love how beautiful this looks and I can’t believe how simple it is to make with easy ingredients too. Would be awesome to include on the Thanksgiving dessert menu.

This really does sound like the perfect Christmas treat! My favorite time of year to eat ice cream is actually when it’s cold out because it gives me a reason to snuggle up in my blanket more. Chocolate syrup would definitely make this easy recipe over the top yummy!
