Ingredients
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (397g)
- 2.5 cups heavy cream (600ml)
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder high quality
- ½ cup milk (120ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup Amarena cherries (110g)
Instructions
- Add the cocoa powder and milk to a saucepan. Heat on a medium heat and stir with a whisk until the milk just starts to simmer and the cocoa powder has dissolved. Set aside to cool completely (it’s really important this mixture is cold before moving to the next step).
- Once cooled, add the milk cocoa mixture, condensed milk, cream and vanilla to a stand mixer with whisk attachment or use a large mixing bowl and electric whisk.
- Whisk the mixture to soft peaks (be careful not to overwhip).
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-proof container then gently fold in the cherries. Seal with a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours but ideally overnight.

Notes
- Let the milk cool - the cocoa and milk mixture must cool completely before continuing with the next step. Don't overwhip - it's important that you don't overwhip the ice cream mixture. You want soft peaks for that silky smooth texture. Let stand before scooping - let the ice cream stand for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving to allow the ice cream to soften slightly. Storage - the ice cream will keep well in the freezer for 3-6 months. Serving sizes - makes around 18 servings (2 scoops per person) in total 1.2kg or 2.6 pounds of ice cream. Nutritional information is an estimate of an individual serving.
