     Title: Cherry Ice Cream Smile w/Chocolate Chips
Categories: I scream, Booze, Chocolate, Fruits, Dairy
     Yield: 1 Quart

 1 1/2 c  Pitted ripe sweet cherries
   3/4 c  Milk
 1 3/4 c  Cream
   1/2 c  Sugar
       pn Salt
     1 ts Lemon juice
     2 tb Amaretto, cherry liqueur,
          - or rum
     4 oz Bittersweet chocolate;
          - chopped fine, keep in
          - freezer until used

 Heat cherries, milk, 1 cup cream, sugar, salt, then
 puree: Put cherries, milk, one cup of the cream, sugar,
 and salt into a medium saucepan. Heat on medium heat
 until the mixture is steamy, then lower the heat to warm
 and just let sit for about 15 minutes.

 Remove from heat. Pour mixture into a blender, or use an
 immersion blender, and carefully puree.

 (Careful because you are dealing with a hot liquid. Make
 sure you hold the cap down on the top of the blender
 while pureeing.)

 Stir in remaining cream and chill: Put mixture into a
 large bowl. Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup of cream.

 Chill for several hours in the refrigerator until
 completely cold. (Can also place bowl over an ice bath,
 to speed up the cooling process.)

 Stir in lemon juice and Amaretto: Before putting the
 mixture into your ice cream maker, stir in the lemon
 juice and the Amaretto or other liqueur if you are
 using. Note that you can skip the alcohol if you want,
 but the addition of it will help the ice cream from
 getting too icy, and the amaretto can add a nice flavor
 boost to the ice cream.

 Churn with your ice cream maker: Churn the ice cream in
 your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's
 instructions.

 Fold in chocolate chips and freeze: Once the ice cream
 has completed churning, the ice cream should be pretty
 soft. Gently fold in the finely chopped chocolate.

 Put in an airtight container and place in the freezer
 for at least an hour, preferably several hours.
