Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Place the shaved chocolate flakes and the cherries in separate bowls; cover and refrigerate. This helps them stay chilled and ready to add to the mixture later. |
| 2 | Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes. This step is crucial for creating a creamy texture in your ice cream. |
| 3 | Gradually whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, until completely blended. This usually takes about 1 minute more of whisking. |
| 4 | Pour in the cream and milk, and whisk to blend everything together. Once combined, add the chilled chocolate and cherries, and gently stir to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture. |
| 5 | Transfer the completed mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually involves churning the mixture until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency. |
