Drop in about 7 or 8 frozen cherries into the mix for color, then chop the remaining cherries into small pieces.

Screw on the base of the blender and blend until the mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds.

Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and spread it evenly.

Chop 1/2 cup of your favorite chocolate chips or chocolate chunks into smaller pieces.

Chop the remaining 1 cup of frozen cherries into smaller pieces, cutting each cherry into eighths.

Sprinkle the chopped cherries and chocolate pieces on top of the ice cream mixture and gently push them down with a spatula.

Place the dish in the freezer for about 2 hours or until frozen through.

Scoop the ice cream into a bowl and enjoy.
