Directions
-
Ensure the dark sweet cherries are well drained and pitted; chop them roughly if they are large.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is completely smooth and fluffy.
-
Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese, mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
-
Gently fold in the half & half and the unwhipped whipping cream until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the texture light.
-
Fold the drained, pitted dark sweet cherries into the cream mixture, distributing them evenly throughout.
-
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
-
Alternatively, pour into a shallow metal pan and freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every 30 minutes for the first two hours to prevent large ice crystals.
-
Once firm, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving for best texture.
