Homemade Cherry Ice Cream Recipe 🍒🍦

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1️⃣ Macerate the Cherries:
In a bowl, toss the cherries with ¼ cup sugar and let sit for 30 minutes. This draws out their natural juices, making them extra sweet and flavorful.

2️⃣ Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar fully dissolves.

3️⃣ Combine & Churn:
Gently fold the juicy cherries into the cream mixture, then pour everything into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve texture.

4️⃣ Freeze to Perfection:
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until firm.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness!

🍒 Pro Tip: For extra indulgence, mix in chopped dark chocolate, cookie crumbles, or toasted nuts before freezing!
