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??

Cherry Almond Amaretto is an ideal frozen dessert to serve at Christmas or Valentines Day.

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!

Another holiday dessert with amaretto is our Chocolate Amaretto Pudding Cake. The combination of amaretto and coffee makes it feel extra fancy, and the pudding sauce bakes right in.

I will write out the directions, but heavens, it's so easy.

 I thought the beautiful Cherry Amaretto Ice Cream is perfect for this Holiday Season or how about Valentine's Day.

          Yes, you could make it with fresh cherries. I would first break down the cherries by making the fruit into pie filling. Perhaps adding some sugar to the cherries and gently cooking them a bit. I believe it would be delicious. Let us know how it goes.xoxo

      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.

      We tend not to eat a lot of ice cream in the cold months. This, however, sounds delicious for the upcoming holiday season. You can never go wrong with alcohol in ice cream....I will just have to make an extra batch for the kids.

      Well you can't get this flavour in the store that is for sure. Ice cream with alcohol sounds like a plan to me....just make sure the kids don't get into it LOL! This would be great because it is HOT HOT HOT here this weekend. No-churn is the best ice cream...no fancy equipment needed.

      Hi Marisa, You can’t go wrong when you have amaretto and cherry in the same recipe......so yummy! As for your question about Christmas gift wrapping with theme......Yes, I’ve been doing that since my high school years....What a flashback????seems like yesterday. Now, I select a new Christmas wrap ( color coordinated) every year for each person.....No more name tags!

      When is your next video? Wish we lived closer so we could Christmas bake together????. My grandsons remind me often it won’t be long before we can start traditional gingerbread house and gingerbread men.

      I can only imagine all the amazing dishes that came out of your kitchen!
      It feels like it's been weeks since I've visited. Sigh. My computer FREAKED out when my husband downloaded the new Windows 10 . . . and decided NOT to function for several days. So happy that it's working again!
      Ok, so let's talk cherry almond amaretto no churn ice cream! I'm obsessed!! It looks and sounds AMAZING!
      I can't wait to try this version!
      You've inspired me . . . I would LOVE to try a version with maraschino cherries and chocolate chunks! That's an all-time favorite combination of mine :0)
      So happy to have found your no churn ice cream recipe!

It was great!! I used Whipped cream vodka for the alcohol part and I added apple pie spice and some vanilla extract. Our boys loved it!! I would have used just a teensy bit more apple pie spice. I love using the pie filling!! Anyway, this is between you and me 😉

        The amaretto adds flavor to the ice cream as well as helping to prevent it from freezing too hard. If you don't want to add alcohol to the ice cream you can substitute Italian soda syrup in the amaretto flavor or instead of just 1 teaspoon of almond extract, add 2 teaspoons of the extract. That should get you the wonderful almond flavor. Give it a taste and add more of the extract if you like a stronger taste.
