Chocolate ice cream

Ah, chocolate ice cream! 🍫🍦 Are we talking about enjoying it, making it, or something else?

If it’s about making it, here’s a quick overview for a rich, creamy chocolate ice cream:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Basic Steps:

1. Whisk together cocoa and sugar in a saucepan.
2. Slowly add milk and cream, heating until warm.
3. Whisk egg yolks in a bowl. Temper them by adding some of the warm mixture slowly, then combine fully.
4. Cook gently until the custard thickens (coats the back of a spoon).
5. Strain, add vanilla and salt, then chill completely.
6. Churn in an ice cream maker, then freeze until firm.

If you want, I can give a super-easy no-ice-cream-maker version that’s still ultra-creamy and chocolatey.

Do you want that version too?
