How To Make No Churn Black Forest Ice Cream
All you need are just SIX ingredients:
- Heavy Cream
- Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- Cherries and/ or Cherry Pie Filling (I used both but you can choose one to keep this a FIVE-ingredient recipe)
- Your favorite Brownies (homemade from scratch, box mix or store-bought)
Black Forest Cake is one of those desserts that I remember from childhood. Our neighbor used to make it every year around the holidays and would always invite us over to share.

Tips on Making Black Forest Ice Cream
This homemade ice cream is a much easier way to enjoy that Black Forest Cake.
You can use either fresh cherries, cherry pie filling or a combination of both which is what I did. I also left out the kirsch to keep it kid-friendly but you can totally add some in if you’d like.
Creamy, cool and decadent with all the black forest goodness.
