Cherry Ice Cream Cake with Chocolate Ganache is a light and refreshing dessert, perfect for hot summer days. It is quick and easy to make, although beautiful to look at.
These delicious Canadian cherries come all the way from British Columbia, Ontario is too cold for growing them. Although we have some cherries here, it is risky for big producers to grow them due to freezing nights in early spring. Nevertheless, the cherry season is now and I eat them as much as I can. They are one of my favorite fruit and if I could I eat a whole bucket of them in one sitting!
Besides how delicious they are, they also have many HEALTHY BENEFITS and are high in antioxidants. After reading this article I will eat them even more, even if only frozen adding to my smoothies. I also suggest using frozen ones for this dessert and fresh ones only for decorating. Just make sure you defrost them before you throw them into a blender.
This Cherry Ice Cream Cake is absolutely delicious and one of the easiest desserts I ever made. However, the marble pattern and cherries on top give it quite a different impression. Your guests may think that it took great skills to make it. Oh and if you have some tiny flowers that would make it even better. Just make sure no one eats them if they are not edible. However, if you can get edible flowers, such as daisies, dianthus, or phlox.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get any of those, so I used what we have in the garden. When I did the photoshoot, it was already dark outside, and too late to go ask my neighbor for some phlox. Oh well, you get the idea! I use hydrangea often because my landlord has so many of them, but they are definitely not edible! Therefore I just use them for the photoshoot and then take them off. Regardless, I love hydrangeas and they are one of my favorite flowers. They are beautiful, they bloom a long time and they look amazing until winter.
