Description

A nostalgic no-churn ice cream featuring juicy cherry swirls and dark chocolate bits, perfect for warm days.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups cherries, pitted and chopped
  • 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
  • 3 oz dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped cherries and the optional tablespoon of sugar. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the cherries release juices and soften. Allow to cool completely.
  2. Chill a mixing bowl and beaters. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and whip until stiff peaks form.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir sweetened condensed milk with vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk, then fold in the remaining whipped cream.
  5. Fold half of the cooled cherry compote and two-thirds of the chopped dark chocolate into the mixture.
  6. Pour half of the base into a loaf pan or container, dollop with remaining cherry compote and chopped chocolate, then add the rest of the base. Create swirls with a knife.
  7. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm. Let soften slightly before serving.

Notes

For best texture, press parchment paper directly on the surface before sealing the container. Serve in chilled bowls or scoop into waffle cones.
