Double chocolate cherry cheesecake ice cream
Viola
This Double Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Ice cream is a chocolate lover's dream and tastes absolutely divine. ❤ The juicy and sweet cherries make every bite of this chocolate ice cream so memorable. You will love this flavor combination!
Wash, pit and quarter the cherries. Transfer them to a bowl and add in the sugar. Mix the cherries well with the sugar and set them aside for about 20 minutes.
Make sure your heavy whipping cream is very cold before you begin. Whisk the cream using a stand/hand mixer until it starts getting thick and fluffy. We don't want it to get to stiff peaks, so turn off the mixer when it is thick and airy. Save the whipped cream for later.
Using electric beaters, mix together the cream cheese, vanilla extract & condensed milk until they are well combined.
Add in the whipped cream to this mixture and fold it in slowly until everything is well combined.
Add in the cocoa powder and mix everything together until well combined.
By now the cherries should be soft and syrupy. Add in the cherries along with the chocolate chips/chunks and mix them well with the ice cream mix.
Transfer this mixture into a freezer safe container and cover with a tight fitting lid. Freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours before scooping and serving.

Notes
If you can’t find fresh cherries, you could also swirl in some cherry jam/preserves/pie filling into the ice cream base and still achieve a similar flavor and texture.
After the ice cream has frozen for several hours, place the ice cream container out at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easy scooping.
