Black Cherry Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

For sauce

• 800grams black cherries, pitted, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup sugar

For ice cream

•  10-15 cherries pitted and chopped
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 large egg yolks
• 5dl whole cream (40%)
• 3dl milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Make sauce:
Combine cherries and sugar in heavy large saucepan; toss to coat. Let stand until juices form, about 2 hours. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid thickens slightly, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain cherry mixture to small bowl; reserve for use in ice cream.

Make ice cream:

Pour 3dl of cream and 1dl milk into heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Remove from heat; steep 30 minutes. Whisk sugar and yolks in medium bowl to blend well. Bring half and half to simmer. Gradually whisk hot cream into yolk mixture. Return mixture to same saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 4 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat. Mix in remaining cream, milk, chopped cherries and cherry mixture. Refrigerate until cold, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours.

Using ice cream maker, process custard until almost firm, following manufacturer's instructions; add reserved 1 cup cherry mixture. Process until ice cream firms, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer to container; cover and freeze.
