• CHERRY CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM -
(Yields Approx: 6 Quarts)
9 cups heavy cream
9 cups whole milk
3 cups white sugar
3 (10 ounce) jars maraschino cherries, with juice
24 egg yolks
2 tablespoons almond extract
2-1/4 pounds bittersweet chocolate, chopped
(Batches may need to be mixed separately in order to accommodate 6Qt. quantity.)
Stir together cream, milk, sugar, and the juice from the jar of cherries in a large
saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat. Place the egg
yolks into a large bowl, then whisk in hot cream, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until
you have added 2 cups.

thickened enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Pour the mixture into a
container, cover, and refrigerate until cold, about 6 hours.
Chop the reserved maraschino cherries, and then stir into the cold custard along with
almond extract, and chopped chocolate.
