Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) pitted fresh cherries, halved
- 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp (1g) almond extract
- 1 pinch (1g) salt
Instructions:
- Place the halved cherries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened into a syrupy glaze. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a chilled bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until smooth.
- Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it. Using a spatula, fold in the remaining whipped cream using a figure-eight motion to maintain aeration.
- Swirl in the cooled cherry reduction and halved cherries, leaving streaks for a marbled effect.
- Pour the mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and freeze for at least 6 hours.
