How to Make Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream at Home

Combine heavy cream, milk, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla. Bring to a steep over low-medium heat.

Stir consistently for 8 to 10 minutes until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Place a mesh sieve over a large bowl, and pour the warm custard through the sieve.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap touches the custard. Refrigerate until cool, about 2-3 hours.

After the custard cools, transfer it and 1 cup of chopped, frozen cherries to a blender. Pulse until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a prepared ice cream maker. Process until the custard reaches the "soft set" stage.

Add the remaining 1 cup of chopped, frozen cherries and continue to mix.

Transfer the mixture to a freezer safe container, and freeze for 4 to 6 hours or until set.
