Oooh… daughter has an ice cream maker; I must dig it out.

However, hubby served me chocolate ice cream with cherries on top tonight! It was heavenly.

Thanks for the recipe; I just may need it!

After reading this last night, I did take your advice last night and had ice cream, but I took the easy way out. Baskin Robbins Banana Split with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Pralines and Cream, and Heath Bar ice creams. Add extra marshmellow topping along with hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles and cherries. It made a mess but was good.
