It all started with having some extra heavy whipping cream left over from all the Christmas cooking; it ended with a heavenly Cherry Almond Amaretto No-Churn Ice Cream. The family voted and it was unanimous. Cherry Almond Amaretto No-Churn Ice Cream was their favorite! You can’t make it any simpler. You take a can of cherry pie filling, add some almonds along with the amaretto liqueur in some heavy whipping cream and you have a dessert your family and friends will applaud. You don’t need any special equipment! A mixer and a freezer is all that’s required to have 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 had another no-churn ice cream I’d made around Thanksgiving that I’d planned to post. But after tasting this rich, creamy dessert, I knew that I had to hurry and share this recipe.
This dessert is a delightful addition during the Christmas season.
In fact, I think Cherry Almond 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.
