Cherry Ice Cream Equipment

For this Ice Cream you will need: 

Ice cream maker

blender, or food processor 

2 bowls 

Measuring cups

Measuring spoons 

whisk, or spoon  

spatula

Cherry Ice Cream Ingredients

2 cups frozen fresh sweet cherries

2 eggs 

1 1/4 cup sugar 

1 1/2 cup half-and-half

1/4 teaspoon vanilla 

1 cup whipping cream

This chunky mixture will be added at the end:

1 cup chopped cherries

2/3 cup chopped Hershey Chocolate Bar (the chunks should be about 1/2 inch each)

1/4 cup roasted walnuts, if you don't know how to roast walnuts it is simply done in the microwave. If you need instructions visit My Home Cooking's Roasting Walnuts Page. 

 
First Step: Pureeing Cherries

Take the 2 cups of cherries and put them into your food processor, or blender. The result should be a pasty like substance. Then pour them into a bowl and place them in the refrigerator until the fourth step.

Second Step: Eggs

Whip your two eggs. The object of this step is to beat them into submission. If they are not sufficiently beaten, you will have egg chunks in your ice cream and that would not be too appetizing. 

Third Step: Stirring Mixture

Add to you obliterated eggs:

1 1/4 cup sugar 

1 1/2 cup half-and-half

1/4 teaspoon vanilla 

1 cup whipping cream

Fourth Step: Cherry Ice Cream

Add the 2 cups of blended cherries to your mixture and then stir. Then put your ice cream mixture into your ice cream maker. It takes our machine 25 minutes to completely freeze the ice cream, but yours may take less than this. 

After your ice cream has finished freezing add the chunks of cherries, roasted walnuts and chocolate chunks into the ice cream. If your ice cream is too soft pack it in a container and let it ripen in the freezer for a few hours.
