Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add 2 cups heavy cream and 1/2 cup cocoa powder (sifted). Whisk thoroughly with an electric handheld or stand mixer until soft peaks form.
    2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • Wash and thoroughly dry the fresh 1 cup cherries. If you are using tinned cherries, fully drain off the syrup. Chop them up slightly as whole frozen cherries can be hard to eat in the final ice cream.
    1 cup cherries
  • Slowly fold in 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, cherries, and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips into the ice cream base with a large spoon.

Notes

Sifting the cocoa powder ensures there are no lumps, creating a smoother ice cream base.
If using tinned cherries, thoroughly drain the syrup to prevent excess liquid in the mixture.
Gently fold the cherries and chocolate chips into the base to avoid them from breaking.
