Cherry Cordial Dessert

1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
4 (1.45 ounce) milk chocolate bars, chopped
1 cup maraschino cherries, halved
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Sweetened whipped cream
Maraschino cherries with stems

Gently combine first 4 ingredients; spoon into a 9-inch springform pan. Cover and freeze until firm.

Place dessert on a serving platter and remove rim from springform pan. Pour creme de cacao over dessert, garnish with whipped cream and cherries on stem. If you don't want to use the entire dessert, slice, spoon about 1 teaspoon creme de cacao over each slice and decorate with whipped cream, topped with cherry on stem.
