INGREDIENTS
1⁄4 cup shaved semisweet chocolate
1⁄4 cup fresh bing cherries, halved and pitted (if using canned cherries, be sure to drain the syrup)
2 large eggs
3⁄4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream or whipping cream
1 cup milk
1-2 oz of Maraschino Cherry juice (for color and flavor)
Place the shaved chocolate flakes and the cherries in separate bowls; cover and refrigerate. 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; add chilled chocolate and cherries and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions.
