SMASH AND SLASH CHERRY CORDIAL ICE CREAM - NO MAKER NEEDED

Steps:

• Chill mixing bowls, mixer beaters, and all utensils you'll use in conjunction with the cream and milk.
• Pit and chop up cherries in a contained environment, such as a large pot. Set aside, but save the remaining juice. Admire the blood-like spray of juice that inevitably got on you ;).
• If you don't enjoy slashing up cherries, pitting them and chopping them in a blender or something is sufficient. Be sure to save the juice.
• Put chocolate into a plastic bag and smash into small pieces with a mallet or the flat end of a tenderizer. Set aside.
• Retrieve a (smaller) mixing bowl and whip the cream until very stiff, adding the sugar while whipping.
• In the other (larger) mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the condensed milk, water, vanilla extract, cherry juice, and food coloring (optional).
• Fold the whipped cream into the milk mixture. It can be rather chunky once it's all folded. Mmmm -- "chunky" ;).
• Add the cherries and gently mix, but mix thoroughly.
• Add the chocolate bits and gently, thoroughly mix.
• Transfer the cream-milk-cherry-chocolate mixture into a 6-cup/1.5L freezer container. Please do not transfer from a large height. Or, y'know, try that. See how it goes for you ;D.
• Freeze until semi-frozen, then stir.
• Freeze for six hours total before eating =).
