Homemade Cherry Ice Cream
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Directions:
Begin by placing the pitted and halved cherries in a bowl. Use a fork or a potato masher to gently mash the cherries, releasing some of their juices. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Fold the mashed cherries into the cream mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Scoop and serve the cherry ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy the delightful homemade treat!
