STEP 6
until it's luscious and all combined!
STEP 7

STEP 8
gently fold in—don't combine completely, some streaks are ideal.
STEP 9
transfer ice cream base to a parchment-lined loaf pan or freezer pint containers.
STEP 10
dollop reserved cherry mixture over top of ice cream base. Using a skewer or toothpick, swirl into ice cream base.
STEP 11
