NOT Semi-Homemade.
Bordeaux Cherry Chocolate-Chip Ice Cream
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup white sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp. real vanilla extract
1 cup quartered frozen dark sweet cherries
1/3 cup puree of dark sweet cherries
1/3 to 1/2 cup extra-dark chocolate chips
Place cream, milk, sugar and salt in a saucepan and heat on medium until tiny bubbles form around the edges, stirring occasionally as sugar dissolves.
Pour mixture into a glass bowl, stir in the vanilla and refrigerate until very cold. At least 2 or 3 hours, more is better.
Pour chilled mixture into your ice-cream maker* and process according to manufacturer's directions. About half-way through processing, add cherries and puree. Add chips in the last couple of minutes.
Transfer ice cream to a plastic tub and let ripen for at least 2 hours.
*If you don't have an ice-cream maker, go out and buy one. They're cheap, easy to use and make better ice cream than you can buy if you live where I do. (Unless you're willing to shell out $8-$9 for imported) It'll only take a little longer than getting someone at Pop's to wait on you and you can eat it in your underwear on the couch.
Oh, and NO, I do not know how to make a 'lite' or 'low-fat' version and I have no intention of trying. Ice-cream is fattening. Period. Eat it on a treadmill if you need to, but don't eat the fat-free stuff, it's crap.
