Ingredients:
• 2 cups cherries, pitted and halved
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
Directions:
1 Prepare the Cherries Begin by tossing the pitted and halved cherries into a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of sugar. Allow the cherries to sit for about 30 minutes to macerate. This step is key to bringing out the cherries’ natural sweetness and releasing their juices, which will enhance the overall flavor of the ice cream.
2 Make the Cream Mixture In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue whisking until the sugar has completely dissolved, and the mixture is smooth and well combined. This creamy base will serve as the perfect canvas for your sweet cherries.
