INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup Plain chocolate shaved*

2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy or whipping cream
1 cup milk

DIRECTIONS:

*B&J prefer Herhey's Special Dark Chocolate candy bars

1. Place shaved chocolate flakes and cherries in separate bowls. Cover and refrigerate.

2. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the 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 the mixture to the ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.

4. After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the chocolate and cherries, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready.

Wow, what a keeper! I loved this recipe....my favorite part was that the texture of the finished ice cream was amazing! The balance of chocolate and cherry was perfect, and if this is what the real Ben and Jerry's stuff tastes like, I'm having some soon! I did have to make a slight alteration, as I only had some frozen cherries that i had pitted during the peak of cherry season. I put in twice as much, and it worked out well. Thank you so much!

Ice cream texture is good but lacking flavor. I think it needs a touch of cherry extract if not available at least maybe some vanilla. Just too blah without.
