Summer is well and truly upon us and it's this time of year when my favourite fruits are in season. One of my favourite fruits is cherries. I also love ice-cream and what better way to satisfy both cravings on a hot summer's day? It is so, so easy to make and think of it as a healthy (kind of) alternative to ice-cream.
I don't own an ice-cream maker at present (on my kitchen wants list) which this recipe could do with. However, if you're like me and don't own one, it's also ok.
