Ingredients
Fruit Base
- 1 1/2 lb Cherries
Dairy and Sweeteners
- 2 Cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 14-oz Can Sweetened condensed milk
Flavorings and Add-ins
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 10 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare Cherries: Slice each cherry in half, remove the seeds, and add the cherry halves to a food processor or blender for smooth blending.
- Blend Cherries: Blend the cherries until broken down and smooth, then set aside for later incorporation.
- Whip Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, providing a fluffy base.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk, blended cherries, vanilla extract, and salt into the whipped cream until everything is well combined.
- Add Oreos: Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies carefully to maintain cookie texture evenly throughout the mixture.
- Prepare for Freezing: Pour the ice cream mixture into a loaf pan or airtight Tupperware container, smoothing the top.
- Optional Decoration: Crush additional Oreo cookies and slice a few more seeded cherries to decorate the top of the ice cream for visual appeal.
- Freeze: Cover the container and place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight until the ice cream is firm.
- Serve: Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones, optionally garnished with extra cherries and crushed Oreos for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Be sure to remove all cherry pits to prevent any biting hazards.
- Use cold heavy whipping cream for best whipping results.
- Folding gently is key to maintaining the light texture of the ice cream.
- This recipe requires no ice cream machine – perfect for easy homemade ice cream.
- Freezing time may vary depending on your freezer; allow extra time if needed.
- For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of kirsch or cherry liqueur to the mixture before freezing.
