Ingredients
- 2 cups thickened cream
- 1 cup full cream milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ cup Dutch cocoa good quality
- 200 gm dark chocolate broken into small pieces
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add cream, milk, sugar, salt, and cocoa to a saucepan and whisk while heating on medium high.
- When the milk is simmering, reduce heat to low and add chocolate. Gently stir until chocolate has melted, remove from heat, and add vanilla.
- Pour the milk mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight.
- Freeze ice cream in an ice cream machine as per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Scoop the churned dessert into a container and freeze for at least three hours or until hardened.
Notes
- Choose the best quality Dutch cocoa and dark chocolate you can find. This recipe has few ingredients, so your dessert will taste deliciously good if you select well.
- Add a dash of 40% vodka when you're churning the ice cream to reduce the freezing point of your base. This allows the dessert to freeze faster and results in creamier ice cream.
- Turn your freezer onto the coldest setting before churning. Once you add the churned ice cream to the freezer, it will harden much quicker and improve the texture.
- Chocolate chips, cookie dough, brownie, or fudge sauce are all delicious add-ins for chocolate ice cream.
