Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen cherries (about 2 ½ cups)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1¾ cups heavy cream
- 1¼ cup whole milk
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon almond extract
Steps
-
Place the frozen cherries, sugar, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Set the heat to med-low, stirring occasionally, as the sugar melts and the cherries soften. This should take about 5 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the cherries begin to release their juices, about 5 more minutes.
-
Gently smash the cherries with a potato masher and continue cooking while stirring constantly. As the juices simmer, the sauce will thicken after a few more minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely before dividing the sauce in half and placing both portions in the refrigerator to chill until needed.
-
Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Pour into the ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
-
Scoop the churned ice cream into a freezer container, adding a spoonful or two of the chilled cherry sauce along with each scoop of the ice cream. Swirl lightly with a knife and place in the freezer until ready to serve. Serve with the remaining cherry sauce on top.
