Now that we’ve set the ice cream mood, let’s roll up our sleeves, because we are going to whip up some magic! Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt (because we like to keep things balanced!)
Instructions
Ready? Set? Let’s make some ice cream!
- First, grab those cherries! If you’re using fresh cherries, make sure to pit them unless you’re a fan of that unexpected crunch (and I don’t mean the good kind)! If frozen, just let them thaw a bit.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cherries, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and that pinch of salt. Blend until mixture is smooth and those cherry pieces are reduced to a delightful pulp of fruity goodness!
- Once you’ve achieved the creamy consistency (and snuck a couple of tastes—no judgment here!), pour the mixture into a large container. Cover it with lid or some cling wrap. Trust me, your fridge will thank you for the extra protection.
- Now comes the hardest part—waiting! Pop that container into the freezer and let it chill for about 4-6 hours. Or, until it’s firm enough for scooping, but if you can wait overnight, you’ll be in for a real treat!
- When you’re finally ready to indulge, take it out, scoop it into your favorite bowl (or just eat it straight from the container—live your best life), and marvel at your creation. Feel free to share it with friends, or just enjoy it all by yourself—no one’s judging!
And there you have it—your very own delicious, creamy cherry ice cream ready to make your taste buds dance! Now go ahead, grab a spoon, and take a big scoop. You deserve it!
