Ingredients

  • ½ cup cold cherry juice about 4 ounces
  • 2 tablespoons cherry preserves about 1 ounce
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 medium scoops cherry-vanilla ice cream about 1 pint/12 ounces, softened until just melty at the edges
  • 4 medium scoops chocolate sorbet about 1 pint/12 ounces, softened until just melty at the edges

Instructions

  • Pour the cherry juice, preserves, and vanilla extract in your blender.
  • Blend so it mixes well, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the ice cream and sorbet, pulse several times which will start breaking the ice cream up.
  • Turn the blender motor off and use a flexible spatula to mash the mixture down onto the blender blades.
  • Place lid back on and continue pulsing, stop if need be to mash the mixture up.
  • Pulse again. You will know it's done when it is thick, and moves easily in the blender jar. Should take about 30 to 90 seconds .

  • Serve with a big old black forest smile!
