¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
½ cup heavy cream

Zester a lemon into the mixing bowl then pour in the roasted cherries, fold the lemon and cherry to incorporate into the mixture.
Transfer the lemon cherry gelato to an airtight container and cover, place in the freezer for at least 6 hours.
Remove the lemon cherry gelato from the freezer 5 minutes before serving.

- If fresh cherries are unavailable, substitute with frozen cherries or maraschino cherries.
- If you are allergic to citrus fruits i.e. Lemon, then you can skip the lemon ingredient and make the gelato with cherries only.
