Ingredients
 

  • 400 g cherries (4 cups)
  • 60 g caster sugar
  • 397 g condensed milk
  • 400 ml double cream

Instructions
 

  • Pit the cherries and add them to a small saucepan with the caster sugar, heat on low until the sugar has dissolved, the cherries have broken down and the juices have been released (about 10 minutes).
  • Set a sieve over a small bowl and pour over the reduced cherries. Use the back of a spoon to push the cherries through the sieve.
  • Using a handheld whisk or stand mixer whisk the double cream until very thick. (3-4 minutes) You can do this by hand but it will take longer. When the cream is very thick, slowly add the condensed milk and whisk until fully incorporated, creamy and smooth.
  • Add half the reduced cherries to the creamy ice cream mixture and mix well - the mixture will turn pink.
  • Swirl through half of the remaining reduced cherries.
  • Repeat by adding the remaining ice cream mixture and reduced cherries, transfer to a 2lb loaf tin (or similar).
  • Cover tightly with cling film and freeze until the ice cream is your desired consistency.

Notes

Using these quantities will fill a 2lb loaf tin which translates to approx 1.7 litres of ice cream.
