Ingredients
| 3/4 cup | 180 ml | whole milk |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | heavy cream |
| 1/3 cup | 80 ml | granulated sugar |
| 2 large | egg yolks | |
| 1/4 cup | 60 ml | dark chocolate chips |
| 1 1/2 tablespoon | 23 ml | unsweetened cocoa powder |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5 ml | vanilla extract |

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, and half of the sugar. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until steaming but not boiling, about 3ā4 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, remaining sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Slowly pour about ā of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and return to medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until the mixture thickens and reaches 170Ā°Fā175Ā°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 3ā5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and immediately add dark chocolate chips, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
- Make sure pint base is closed. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into an empty CREAMiĀ® Swirl Pint to remove any solids.
- Gently fold in pitted cherries.
- Place pint in an ice bath to cool for 15ā20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once cooled, place storage lid on pint and freeze for 24 hours.
- Remove pint from freezer and remove lid from pint. Place Swirl Pint in outer bowl, install Creamerizerā¢ Paddle onto outer bowl lid, and lock the lid assembly on the outer bowl. Slide bowl assembly onto motor base and twist the handle right to raise the platform and lock in place.
- Select SCOOP, then select GELATO.
- With a spoon, create a 1Ā½-inch wide hole that reaches the bottom of the pint. Add cherry preserves and chopped dark chocolate to the hole in the pint and process again using the MIX-IN program.
- When processing is complete, remove gelato from the pint and serve immediately.
