Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Cranberries: Rinse cranberries under cold water, removing stems and bad berries. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries and granulated sugar. Cook until cranberries burst and form a sauce, about 10 minutes.
- Cool Down: Remove from heat and allow the cranberry sauce to cool completely.
- Mix Your Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Everything: Fold the cooled cranberry sauce into the creamy mixture until just combined, ensuring beautiful swirls of cranberry throughout.
- Churn Away!: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions (usually about 20-25 minutes) until it reaches soft-serve consistency.
- Freeze Until Firm: Transfer churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least four hours or until firm.
- Serve & Enjoy!: Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy this delightful treat with friends or family!
