Black Forest Vanilla Ice Milk or Cherry, Dark Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Milk is the perfect icy summer dessert to cool down with!

Black Forest Vanilla Ice Milk @FabFood4All

With summer well and truly here refreshment is on everyone’s mind and hot comforting puddings are put on the back burner.

One of our favourite summer desserts is “ice milk” as it is has all the taste of a premium ice cream but barely any of the fat or hefty calories of its cousin; it is almost like a dairy sorbet but a little harder.

Cherries and chocolate are a winning combination in a Black Forest Gateaux so I decided to put them in this ice milk recipe with a dash of vanilla.

Using frozen cherries gives the ice cream maker a helping hand and is also a far cheaper way of buying cherries.

Keeping the chopped up dark chocolate in the freezer until needed is also top tip!

My family love this Black Forest Ice Milk and I love that I’m giving them something not only tasty but healthy too.

Summer really is the perfect time for healthy eating and this dessert is packed with Vitamin C, calcium and iron from the cherries, milk and dark chocolate respectively.

As there is no cream in this ice cream style dessert it is harder than conventional ice cream so you need to take it out of the freezer for 10 minutes before serving. The wait will be hard, but believe me it will be totally worth it and you’ll be making this Black Forest Ice Milk again and again! Of course you don’t have to keep this Black Forest Ice Milk for dessert it’s also fabulous served in an ice cream cone and if it’s one dipped in chocolate, even better!

You can also make Black Forest Ice Milk into ice lollies!

    Oh, yum – this looks so good. I love cherries too. Our trees didn’t produce anything this year.
