Description
A delightful treat that combines the rich creaminess of ice cream with sweet cherries and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cherry puree
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup cherries, pitted and halved
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the vanilla extract and cherry puree until well combined.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20-25 minutes).
- When the ice cream is nearly done churning, add the pitted and halved cherries and chocolate chips. Continue to churn for a few more minutes until the cherries and chocolate are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for 4-6 hours, or until firm.
- Scoop out your creamy, cherry-filled ice cream and enjoy!
Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh cherries. Adjust sugar to taste. Serve with chocolate sauce or extra cherries for a special touch.
