Directions
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is thick, pale, and lemon-colored.
-
In a saucepan, heat the milk until it just begins to simmer (scalded).
-
Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture while stirring constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
-
Continue stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved, then set the mixture aside to cool completely to room temperature.
-
Once cool, stir in the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
-
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
-
Fold in the cherry pie filling gently to create swirls throughout the ice cream.
-
Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to serve.
