Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare cherry wine reduction

In a saucepan, combine red wine and frozen cherries. Simmer until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Strain and set aside to cool.

2
Mix dry ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.

3
Heat cream and milk

In a medium saucepan, heat heavy cream and whole milk until just simmering.

4
Temper egg yolks

Whisk egg yolks in a separate bowl. Slowly add hot cream mixture to egg yolks, whisking constantly.

5
Cook custard

Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

6
Strain and cool

Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Stir in vanilla extract and cherry wine reduction.

7
Chill mixture

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

8
Chop chocolate

Roughly chop the dark chocolate into small chunks.

9
Churn ice cream

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions.

10
Add mix-ins

In the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped dark chocolate and any remaining whole cherries from the reduction.

11
Freeze

Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

12
Serve

Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.
