2 1/2 cups milk

2 ounces semisweet chocolate

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Do not boil. Remove from heat. Place mixture in a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed of mixer until mixture becomes smooth and chocolate is dissolved. Stir in whipping cream. Chill several hours or overnight. Stir in cherries, nuts and extracts. Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. After freezing, transfer ice cream to a plastic freezer container. Ripen in freezer at least 3 hours before servin
