  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/4  cup           shaved semi-sweet chocolate bars
     1/4  cup           fresh Bing cherries -- halved and pitted
                        (you may
                        use canned cherries -- but be sure to
                        drain the syrup)
   2      large         eggs
     3/4  cup           sugar
   2      cups          heavy or whipping cream
   1      cup           milk

Preparation:

1. Place the shaved chocolate flakes and the cherries in separate bowls. Cover and refrigerate.

2. 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.

3. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions.

4. After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the chocolate and the cherries, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready.
