Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

I was in the mood for some fruity ice cream, and when I settled on cherry, I knew I had to add some chocolate to make a little imitation Cherry Garcia.  Since it’s eggless, this ice cream was a snap to make, and it was delicious!

Here are the ingredients:

• 1/2 cup grenadine
• 1 cup fat free milk
• 2 cups vanilla low-fat yogurt
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 cup frozen dark sweet cherries
• 1 tablespoon almond extract
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Add all of the ingredients except the chocolate chips to your blender.

Puree until all only small bits of the cherries remain.

Pour into your ice cream maker, add the chocolate chips, and freeze according to instructions.  This made a little too much for my 2 quart ice cream machine – I left out about 1 cup of the mixture and as you can see below – I still had a little “overflow.”

Transfer to freezer to let your ice cream harden up, and then serve!
