Ingredients

For gelato:
1/2 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
3 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup turbinado sugar such as Sugar in the Raw
2 tablespoons cornstarch
For cherries:
1/2 pound bing cherries (1 1/2 cups; do not substitute frozen), pitted
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Equipment:
an ice cream maker

Steps:

Make gelato:
Scrape seeds from vanilla bean with tip of a paring knife into a small heavy saucepan. Add milk and a pinch of salt and bring just to a boil, then remove from heat.
Meanwhile, whisk together sugar and cornstarch, then add 1/2 cup hot milk, whisking until smooth. Whisk into milk in saucepan. Bring to a simmer, whisking, then simmer, whisking, 3 minutes. Immediately pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl set in an ice bath. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
Remove from ice bath and chill, covered, 1 hour.
Prepare cherries:
Pulse cherries, sugar, and extracts in a food processor until finely chopped, then chill, covered, 1 hour.
Make ice cream:
Stir cherries with their juices into gelato mixture and freeze in ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 2 hours.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my usual gelato recipe.

I had a hard time finding fresh cherries, so I used frozen cherries instead. The gelato still turned out great!

I'm not usually a big fan of gelato, but this cherry gelato was amazing! The texture was smooth and velvety, and the cherry flavor was rich and intense.
