Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
Mix in vanilla extract and milk (or cherry juice) until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add Heat-Treated Flour
Slowly stir in the cooled flour and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 4: Fold in the Good Stuff
Gently fold in chopped cherries and chocolate chips. Chill for 10–15 minutes for the best texture.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Scoop into bowls, cones, or layer into parfait glasses with whipped cream and extra cherries.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Texture
- Drain cherries well or pat with paper towel to avoid soggy dough.
- Chill before serving—it makes it denser and creamier.
- Store in fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze in portions for up to 2 months.
- For a lighter version, sub butter with whipped cream cheese or Greek yogurt.
