Cherries Jubilee Ice Cream Pie is an excellent frozen dessert recipe to make in the summer!

It’s that time of year where easy-to-make frozen treats are welcome in this warm weather. This is a slightly lighter ice cream pie too, so that’s a bonus! Cherries are cooked with a little bit of brandy and swirled in with low fat vanilla ice cream to make the filling. Add in a crunchy, buttery graham cracker crust and you’ve got a dessert that will make everyone happy.

How to make the cherry sauce:

The cherry sauce is a mix of frozen sweet cherries, water, sugar, brandy and cornstarch. Why brandy? Traditional cherries jubilee calls for brandy. So that’s why it’s added in to this Cherries Jubilee Ice Cream Pie. The ingredients for the sauce are heated together in a saucepan until boiling and thickened. Once cooled, you’ll take 1/2 cup of the sauce and purée it in a food processor or blender. The rest of the sauce you can refrigerate until serving time.

The ice cream filling is then poured on top of the baked pie crust, and you can put a little bit of the sauce in the middle to make it pretty. It should freeze for at least four hours before serving. I prefer to make it one day and let it freeze overnight to serve the following day.

Once the ice cream filling has frozen completely, you can slice and serve your Cherries Jubilee Ice Cream Pie.
