Preparation Steps
1
Drain the Amarena cherries, reserving the syrup. Chop the cherries into smaller pieces, but set aside a few whole ones for garnish.
2
In a bowl, whisk together the cherry syrup, sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
3
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; you want a medium-soft consistency.
4
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cherry syrup mixture until evenly combined and you have a creamy texture.
5
Add the chopped Amarena cherries and gently fold them in, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
6
Pour the mixture into an airtight container and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely frozen.
7
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly and make it easier to scoop.
