Around the beginning of this past summer, Rob and I invested in an ice cream maker!! So far we have just made basil ice cream, lemon sorbet, and chocolate ice cream. In preparation for all my wisdom teeth coming out I knew I had to make some ice cream for the recovery. I walked into whole foods and the first thing I saw was beautiful red Cherrys and thought "that might be interesting."After de-pitting them, which was a little tedious, I simply pureed them and put them aside (roughly 2 cups of whole fruit) With a hand beater on low I mixed 3/4 cup whole milk, a pinch of salt, and 2/3 cups sugar until the sugar dissolved. Then I added 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and lastly the cherry puree. The mixture sat covered in the fridge for about an hour and then I poured it into my ice cream maker and BAMM! Such a fun treat.
The secret weapon Cuisinart ICE -21 makes ice cream in literally 15 minutes!
