With a wide variety of toppings, these are surprisingly customizable.

20. Cherry Ice Cream
I’ve been on a love affair with cherries ever since I first tried them at our local farmer’s market.
So, this cherry ice cream recipe is perfect for when you need something sweet but don’t have time to make a batch of homemade ice cream.
This simple recipe includes both sour and sweet cherries.
The sour ones will add the perfect touch of acidity to the creamy ice cream, while the sweeter ones give it more of a burst of flavor.
And if you can’t find sour cherries, use pomegranate seeds instead!
21. Dulce De Leche Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Now, this ice cream is so delectable that its name alone should make you want to pour it straight from the cone.
Forget about vanilla and chocolate.
This recipe is all about dulce de leche, a sweet Mexican caramel sauce.
Mix softened butter with brown sugar and evaporated milk to make a velvety smooth dessert bliss.
The result is creamy and rich but not too heavy that it’ll slow you down (or stop you from eating).
