What each ingredient does
- Cherries
- Provide the fruit flavor and most of the body of the dessert.
- Sugar
- Adds sweetness and lowers the freezing point, keeping the texture softer and scoopable.
The step that matters
Turn rapidly until frozen.. Stirring while the mixture freezes breaks up forming ice crystals. Fast, continuous agitation keeps the crystals small, giving a smoother texture instead of a coarse, icy one.
