Yield Makes about 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
6 large egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole cherries, pitted
2 tablespoons white rum
1 cup chopped dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Combine the milk, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, and vanilla bean in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved; remove from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining sugar and yolks; set aside. Remove vanilla bean from milk mixture, and discard. Bring the milk mixture just to a simmer. Using a measuring cup or a ladle, slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg-yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Keep adding milk mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time until it has all been added.
  • Pour mixture back into saucepan, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 8 minutes The custard should retain a line drawn across the back of a the spoon with your finger. Pour through a fine sieve into a medium bowl; discard vanilla bean. Stir in heavy cream; let cool completely. Cover and transfer to refrigerator until chilled at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Place cherries in a small bowl and cover with rum; set aside. Pour custard into an ice-cream maker and process according to manufacturers' instructions. During the last minute of processing, add cherries and their liquid, along with chocolate. Continue processing until set, but not hard.
  • Transfer the soft ice cream to a plastic container, freeze at least 3 hours and up to overnight.

Yield Makes 1 generous quart

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups pitted fresh sweet cherries
2 tablespoons kirsch (clear cherry brandy)
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
4 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate,coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Puree cherries in processor until almost smooth but some small pieces remain. Transfer to bowl. Add kirsch and let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Place ice cream in large bowl. Stir in cherry mixture and chocolate. Cover and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries: This will ensure the best flavor in your ice cream. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and pitted.
  • Chop the cherries into small pieces: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the ice cream. If you leave the cherries whole, they may freeze solid and become difficult to chew.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chunks: This will also make a big difference in the flavor of your ice cream. Look for chocolate chunks that are made with semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
  • Chill the ice cream base before churning: This will help the ice cream freeze more quickly and smoothly. You can chill the base in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions: Each ice cream maker is different, so be sure to follow the instructions that came with your machine.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours: This will allow the ice cream to firm up completely.
