Frozen custard, actually, with caramel, tart cherries, and couverture dark chocolate.
Before whipping. ↑
After whipping. ↓ Notice how much the bulk fills the container more fully.
Dark couverture chocolate melted and spread to thin sheet and chilled.
Caramel made thick and pourable by melting sugar in a pan, adding butter, cream, salt, baking soda, vanilla extract.
Now all the elements are ready; vanilla custard, tart cherries, dark chocolate, and caramel.

Tart cherries into whipped frozen vanilla custard. These are too pale to be any good. Another cherry must do. The frozen cherries available at the time were all sweet and not tart as they must be.
Chocolate pieces added to whipped frozen vanilla custard.
Caramel added to whipped frozen vanilla custard.
All additions now included, notice the bulk nearly fills to the top.
The frozen custard bears only vague resemblance to Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream due to insufficient additions and overbearing vanilla flavor. I could have easily doubled all additions and not gone overboard. The cherries are not dark enough, not tart enough. They should be frozen or fresh not tinned. Maybe I can find something better.
It is very good. Let's not be too critical, but Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia is better.
