Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 cup Cherries (pitted, fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar (optional, for taste adjustment)
Directions
Step 1
In a blender or food processor, combine the pineapple chunks and cherries. Blend until a smooth puree forms, leaving a few small chunks for texture if desired.
Step 2
Taste the puree and, if needed, add the sugar. Blend again briefly to combine. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This should take about 5-6 minutes on medium-high speed.
Step 4
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Step 5
Add the pineapple-cherry puree, vanilla extract, and salt to the whipped cream mixture. Gently fold until fully combined, ensuring an even distribution of flavor throughout.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Step 7
Cover tightly with plastic wrap or an airtight lid and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
Step 8
When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!
