• 2. Pour the coconut milk, arrowroot, cocoa powder, raw sugar, instant coffee, and vanilla extract into a saucepan and mix well until blended. Turn the burner to medium-high heat and heat until a slow boil starts while whisking the mixture to prevent burning. Turn the heat down to low and allow the mixture to heat for 5 minutes.
• 3. Remove from heat and pour mixture into a heat-resistant mixing bowl or measuring cup. Cover the mixture and place into the refrigerator to cool down overnight.
• 4. Remove the cherries-rum mixture and chocolate coconut milk out of the refrigerator. Strain the cherries and save the cherry infused rum for a future special cocktail See Photo. Place the cherries into a food processor and pulse them in order to get a rough chop. See Photo You may want to restrain the cherries after placing them into the food processor because the liquid may loosen up afterwards.
• 5. Whisk the chocolate coconut milk mixture until it regains some of the consistency. It may be in thick like a chocolate pudding, but will be still okay to make into ice cream. Slowly add the chopped cherries into the mixture and add them to a prepared ice cream maker bowl. Prepare the ice cream mixture in accordance of the ice cream maker's instructions and then freeze for about 2-4 hours until desired texture. See Photo
