Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by tossing the pitted and halved cherries into a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to macerate.
- While the cherry mixture is developing its flavors, in a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, the remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Once your cherry mixture is ready, carefully fold it into the cream mixture until fully combined.
- Now it’s time to churn! Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- When your ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it into a lidded container.
- Finally, freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
Notes
Pair with chocolate sauce or nuts for added texture. Avoid using unripe cherries for the best flavor.
