Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 pound about 1 cup fresh sweet cherries
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Toss cherries with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Roast in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until cherries have softened and start to release their juice. Watch them carefully so that the sugar doesn't burn. Remove cherries from oven and allow to cool slightly. Gently pull apart the cherries to remove the pit and then quarter the cherries. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In bowl whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, salt, vanilla extract and remaining 3/4 cup of sugar. Whisk until sugar dissolves. Refrigerate until the mixture is well chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Freeze the ice cream according to your ice cream manufacture's instructions. When there is about 5 minutes left slowly add in the cherries and chocolate chunks.
  • Transfer ice cream to a freezer safe container and let freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Enjoy!
