Description
Indulge in this rich and creamy chocolate ice cream, perfect for a cool treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream (divided)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by mixing together whole milk, granulated sugar, and 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat. Whisk in cocoa powder until it is nice and smooth. Bring this to a boil.
- Once it boils, reduce heat and cook for about 30 seconds. You want to get it just hot enough that it will melt the chocolate chips.
- Remove mixture from heat and stir in chocolate chips. Mix until they are completely melted and mixture is nice and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until they are really well combined and have a pale yellow color.
- Very slowly, while actively whisking eggs, stream in chocolate milk mixture. Once it is all mixed in, pour it back into saucepan and return to stove.
- Heat mixture over medium heat until it reaches 170-175º F, stirring frequently. It will coat the back of a spoon, and when you run a finger through it, it will stay separated and not run back together.
- Pour mixture through a sieve to get rid of any eggs that scrambled and make sure it is nice and smooth.
- Mix in remaining heavy cream and vanilla extract. Cover and place in a fridge for at least 8 hours, or until it is nice and cold.
- Once mixture is nice and cold, use your ice cream maker and churn for 25 minutes, or according to your manufacturer’s instructions.
- Store in freezer for at least an hour until ready to serve.
Notes
- This ice cream requires chilling in the fridge for at least 8 hours.
