Creating homemade Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream is easy if you follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2. Add the Cherries: Fold the halved cherries into the mixture, making sure they are evenly distributed for a perfect balance of flavor in every bite.
