   Prepare the Ice Cream Base

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

   Once chilled, divide the ice cream base into three equal portions in separate bowls.

3. 3

   Make Cherry Ice Cream

   To one portion, add 1 cup of cherry puree (made by blending fresh or frozen cherries) and mix well. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm.

4. 4

   Make Pistachio Ice Cream

   To the second portion, add 1/2 cup of pistachio paste and mix well. Churn in the ice cream maker as above, then transfer to a container and freeze until firm.

5. 5

   Make Chocolate Ice Cream

   To the last portion, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and mix until smooth. Churn in the ice cream maker as above, then transfer to a container and freeze until firm.

6. 6

   Layer the Ice Creams

   In a loaf pan or freezer-safe container, layer the cherry, pistachio, and chocolate ice creams one on top of the other. Use a spatula to smooth the layers. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
