Equipment

1 Ice Cream machine

Ingredients

2 cups Whipping cream
2 cups Milk whole, 2%, non-fat, whatever you have on hand or your particular preference. We used 2% in this recipe.
1 cup Sugar
¼ tsp Cinnamon
3 tbsp Cocoa powder
¼ cup Cherry juice
20 Maraschino cherries quartered

Instructions

Ice Cream Prep

In a large bowl, combine the whipping cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and cherry juice, mix with a handheld electric mixer for about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and run according to normal instructions. This is about 25-30 minutes, see tips in post for when to know the churning is complete!
While you are waiting for this step, get your cherries prepped. Cut each cherry into quarters, you want nice bite sized pieces.
Then, about 5 minutes before the ice cream is done, add in the cherries.

Chilling

Once the ice cream has been churned, it should have a soft-serve like consistency and texture. If you like your ice cream this way, feel free to enjoy it immediately.
If you prefer your ice cream a bit more frozen and thicker consistency, stick it in the freezer for a few hours. I set mine in there for 3-4 hours and it turned out absolutely delicious!
If you want to add some extra toppings like mini-chocolate chips or sprinkles, feel free!
Serve and enjoy!
