Check out what Krista from Heavenly Savings had to say about this yummy recipe:
Recently my daughter and I stopped by a local farm and picked some fresh cherries. While we were picking the cherries my daughter and I talked about what we would like to do with them. Lots of ideas came to mind but one of the first things she said was make ice cream topping. Of course I agreed so that is exactly what we did. After picking Cherries I headed to my local Walmart and purchased Vanilla Bean Blue Bunny Ice cream to pair with my Cherry Ice Cream Topping.
Thank you so much, Krista, for sharing your delicious cherry ice cream topping! I made this the other day for my family and they gobbled it up. We are in the throes of winter right now here in Pennsylvania so we welcome foods that comfort us, such as your cherry ice cream topping. Krista is a fabulous cook and runs a wonderful blog called “Heavenly Savings”. You should really go and check her out and dig through her virtual recipe box. It’s a gem!
