There’s something nostalgic about strawberries and cream. This version keeps that classic flavor, but uses better ingredients and a simple homemade approach that feels rich, fresh, and incredibly satisfying.

If you love those deep, almost-black chocolate ice creams from artisan scoop shops, this recipe is for you. We used a combination of Dutch cocoa, black cocoa, and real dark chocolate to create an ultra-rich flavor with a velvety, gelato-like texture, without the sugar spike of traditional ice cream.

Instead of a swirl, this version uses lightly cooked cherry pieces, so you get bursts of flavor throughout each bite. The chocolate base is smooth and balanced, made with Dutch cocoa and dark chocolate for richness, with just a touch of black cocoa to deepen the color.
