For the best flavor, use high-quality bittersweet chocolate. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this dessert. Pour the chilled custard into a freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals. This will result in a slightly less smooth texture but will still be delicious. Experiment with different fillings! Try using chopped nuts, candied fruit, or a different type of liqueur-soaked cherry.
