Hi Everyone, my 4th of July, 2015 week was filled with good times, yummy food, and family - to me, that is what the 4th of July holiday is all about.
This recipe came out of wanting to do a kid-friendly recipe with my nieces while we were on a family vacation at Steele Hill Resorts, in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire (Sanbornton, NH).
I planned the recipe as a fun, bonding activity to do with my nieces and I want to give them credit for picking out the ingredients that would go into the ice cream: fresh, in-season cherries (the cherry season is typically the month of June in my state of NJ) & milk chocolate chips.
They named this recipe, "Cherry for Me-Ahh," jokingly similar to the famous ice cream flavor by Ben and Jerry's (an ice cream brand family favorite).
My parents have had a timeshare at Steele Hill Resorts since I was in high school (at the time of this post, 15+ years) and no matter where we have all moved to over the years, pretty much every year we make the pilgrimage up to Sanbornton, NH and share some family time together.
We have had countless memories there, one of them including my wedding on July 16th, 2011.
That day was pretty special!
Thank goodness Steele Hill's in-room kitchens are fully-equipped - I didn't have to pack anything like mixing bowls, utensils, or a hand mixer - what a convenience!
We made it in the kitchen, froze it overnight, and served it the next day outside on one of the many big picnic tables available and my three nieces had fun customizing the toppings on their sundaes.
I love showing the kids that you can make your own ice cream instead of buying it already made in the store, it's empowering, educational and fun at the same time!
Nothing delights like ice cream on a hot day, right?

I have been making a no-churn ice cream recipe in different iterations for a little while now.
There are many versions online. I first saw, "No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe," on instructables.com (there's also a cute video!), and that one is based on another recipe, "No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream," on MarthaStewart.com.
If you make this recipe, and like it, please give it a rating in the recipe card below and let us know in the comments at the end of the post.
