Cherry Cabernet Ice Cream: #52WeeksofSweets, Week 20

You know when you ask your husband, “Should I wear this or that?”  And he says “this,” then you wear that.  I do it all. the. time.  And, I did it to y’all.

Remember this question I posed last week?

There was a resounding vote:  Margarita Sherbert.  Or sherbet.  To be frank, there was as much debate about whether it was sherbert or sherbet that I decided to put my foot down.  I ain’t making anything called sherbert or sherbet until y’all get together and decide what to call it.

I’m not sure if not making something that sounds delicious out of spite is one of the best ideas I’ve ever had, and I’ll probably change my mind.  But I’m in a mood.

Here’s hoping that this Cherry Cabernet Ice Cream will pull me out of it.  After the great sherbert/sherbet debate, the other three options (Limencello Pistachio, Bailey’s Chocolate Chip and Cherry Cabernet)  all came in pretty close.  So, I went with the one I wanted to enjoy.  And you know what??? It’s DAMN good.

In fact, I’m pretty sure this Cherry Cabernet Ice Cream is one of the best desserts I’ve ever made.  If you don’t have an ice cream maker, this recipe alone is worth getting one for.   I have this one and love it.

The initial concept for this recipe was to include Dark Chocolate, but based on my mood of the day, I decided to omit it.  But, after trying it, I’m pretty sure some chocolate chunks would be divine.

In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed or whisk to combine the milk, sugar and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or overnight.

Place your chopped cherries in a small bowl and stir in one tablespoon of sugar.

Pour the bottle of wine into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer.  Cook for an hour or so, until reduced to a few tablespoons.

Add in the wine syrup and cherries. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture and continue to run the machine for another 5 minutes until you have a soft-serve texture.

If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
