I am beyond thrilled to share this tantalizing Surinam Cherry Ice Cream Recipe with you all. It’s a superb blend of tropical fruits and traditional creamy goodness that exudes comfort and sweetness in every spoonful. For a Boston native like myself, this recipe might seem like a leap from the standard repertoire of New England seafood and the hearty solace of Irish family dishes. But, much like me, my culinary journey thrives on uncharted waters and foreign tastes.
Having migrated from Boston to the broad gastronomic continents, this recipe perfectly mirrors my evolution. It’s a reflection of who I am, a confluence of tradition and novelty that tastefully threads the old and the new. This luscious ice cream recipe, much like my favorite Irish soda bread or the classic New England clam chowder, carries its unique charm and a flavor profile that is distinctive and unforgettably delightful.

What You’ll Need
Method
Step One
First, take the Surinam cherries and remove the pits. Once pitted, set these cherries aside for later use.
Step Two
Grab a large saucepan, add the sugar and water, stir together over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture comes to a light simmer.
Step Three
Add the pitted cherries to the sugar syrup in the saucepan. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the cherries are completely softened. Stir occasionally to ensure they don’t stick to the pan.
Step Four
Once the cherries are soft, use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Be careful as the mixture will be hot.
Step Five
In another saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk and vanilla extract. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture is heated through.
Step Six
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and creamy. Gradually pour the warm cream into the egg yolks, all the while whisking continuously so the eggs don’t curdle.
Step Seven
Pour this mixture back into the saucepan and heat gently until the mixture thickens slightly and can coat the back of a spoon. This is your custard base.
Step Eight
Combine the cherry puree with the custard base, add the lemon juice, stir well and let it cool down. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate until it’s completely chilled, preferably overnight.
Step Nine
Once the mixture is cold, churn it in an ice cream maker as per the manufacturer’s instructions. When done, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Step Ten
After the ice cream is set, it is ready to serve. Enjoy your homemade Surinam Cherry Ice Cream!
