I have always been a fan of cherry cordials. In fact for many, many years my mom always put a box in my christmas stocking. So when I was searching for some new ice cream recipes to make and came across one called Cherry Cordial Ice Cream, I knew I needed to make it.
This ice cream was excatly what I was hoping for, creamy with just the right amount of cherry and chocolate flavor. Another delicious ice cream to add to my growing list yummy ice creams.
