Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cherry syrup or juice
  • 1 –2 teaspoons amaretto extract or liqueur flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sugar optional

Instructions
  

Prepare the Cherries

  • Wash and chop cherries into small pieces. If using frozen cherries, thaw them first. Mix with sugar and cherry syrup for extra sweetness and flavor.

Cook Cherry Mixture (Optional)

  • Place cherries in a pan on low heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes until soft and juicy. Let it cool completely before mixing into ice cream base.

Whip the Cream

  • In a large bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Do not over-whip. The texture should be light and fluffy for smooth ice cream.

Add Condensed Milk

  • Slowly fold condensed milk into whipped cream. Mix gently using a spatula. This step creates a creamy base for the Cherry Amaretto Ice Cream Recipe.

Add Flavoring

  • Add vanilla extract and amaretto flavor. Mix lightly to combine. This gives a rich almond-like taste that pairs well with cherries.

Mix in Cherries

  • Add cooled cherry mixture into the cream base. Fold gently so cherries spread evenly. Do not overmix to keep texture light and airy.

Transfer to Container

  • Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top using a spatula. Tap lightly to remove air bubbles for even freezing.

Freeze the Ice Cream

  • Cover the container tightly. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. The ice cream should become firm and scoopable.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Take out of freezer and let it sit for 5 minutes. Scoop and serve cold. Enjoy creamy cherry almond flavor in every bite.

Notes

  • Use chilled cream for better whipping.
  • Fresh cherries give stronger flavor.
  • Do not skip folding gently for airy texture.
  • Freeze overnight for best results.
  • Add chocolate chips for extra richness.
  • Use airtight container to avoid ice crystals.
