Ben and who?

Frogurt time again (Fro-Yo is a trademark of a hippy company up north so I won't use it).  I have two favorite flavors of ice cream and they are peanut butter and chocolate (basically chocolate with ribbons of peanut butter frozen within) and Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia.  Now I have a ton of yogurt at home and cherries, homemade vanilla extract, chocolate and sugar so I can take a swipe at one of my favorite flavors.

1 quart + a tad of homade yogurt
1 cup of sugar
2 tsp home made vanilla extract
1/2 cup of 1/2& 1/2  (yes it's ironic but i want a creamier product)
1/2 bar of chocolate cut into small chunks
about 10 cherries cut into 1/8 ths (if big like the ones we got)

Mix everything except for the sugar, chocolate & cherries together.  Taste.  If too sour add about 1/4th of the sugar.  Taste.  Repeat as necessary (switch to tablespoons though).  When done to your standards chill for a few hours to a few days.  Assemble your ice-cream maker.  Start the churning and add in your mix.  About 2/3rds the way through add in the chocolate and cherries and let the churning finish.  When done put in containers and freeze.  I call it Cherries Santana so I don't get into any trademark battles.
