Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Prepare the Cherries: Place the frozen sweet cherries in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the cherries are broken down into small pieces, but not completely pureed. (5 minutes)

02

Step

2 mins

Combine the Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. (2 minutes)

03

Step

2 mins

Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the cream mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific model. While the machine is running, gradually add the processed cherries. (2 minutes)

04

Step

20 mins

Freeze to Perfection: Allow the ice cream maker to churn until the ice cream reaches your desired consistency, typically around 20 minutes. It should be thick and creamy.

05

Step

2 mins

Incorporate Chocolate Chunks: Once the ice cream has reached the desired consistency, gently stir in the semisweet chocolate chunks. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream. (2 minutes)

06

Step

2 hrs

Final Freeze (Optional): For a firmer consistency, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours before serving. (120 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate instead of semisweet.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can try the 'no-churn' method by freezing the mixture in a shallow pan, stirring every 30 minutes for a few hours to break up ice crystals.
Feel free to experiment with other mix-ins, such as chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or a swirl of cherry jam.
