Cherry Sherbet in Tuile Bowls image

This easy sherbet has the rich, creamy texture of ice cream; it's best eaten within a day or two of being made. An ice cream maker is unnecessary, but if you prefer to use one, just follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Yield Makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sugar
2/3 cup creme fraiche
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound sweet cherries (preferably Bing), pitted and halved
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Tuile Bowls

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Stir together 2/3 cup sugar and 2/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Transfer syrup immediately to a medium bowl. Place bowl in ice-water bath, being careful not to let water reach rim of bowl. Let syrup cool completely, stirring frequently.
  • Whisk together creme fraiche, heavy cream, milk, salt, and the syrup in a large bowl. Transfer to freezer; let set, whisking mixture vigorously for 2 minutes every 30 minutes, until sherbet is the consistency of whipped cream and whisk leaves a trail, 3 to 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, put cherries, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, and the lemon juice in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until cherries begin to break down and juice has thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Let mixture stand at room temperature until it has cooled completely.
  • Gently fold cherry mixture into sherbet until just combined (juices should leave streaks). Cover surface of sherbet with parchment paper and freeze in bowl until set, 4 to 8 hours.
  • If making a day ahead, transfer sherbet to an airtight container, and place a piece of parchment paper directly onto surface of sherbet. Cover tightly. Let stand at room temperature until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Scoop sherbet into tuile bowls, and serve.
