Cherry Garcia Ice Cream

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup shaved plain chocolate (we prefer Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate candy bars)
• 1/4 cup fresh Bing cherries, halved and pitted (you may use canned cherries, but be sure to drain the syrup)
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
• 1 cup milk

Preparation

Step 1

1) Place shaved chocolate flakes and the cherries in separate bowls. Cover and refrigerate.
2) Whisk eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend.
3) Transfer mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions.
4) After ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add chocolate and cherries, then continue freezing until ice cream is ready. Yield: 1 quart.
