This mouthwatering homemade chocolate ice cream recipe is made with cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate and has a very rich chocolate flavor. The recipe can be made using an ice cream maker or using a no-churn method.
100gsemi-sweet chocolate chipsor chopped chocolate bar
500mlheavy creamcold
Instructions
In a saucepan, add the egg yolks, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk well until a homogenous paste-like mixture has formed.
Add the milk and heat over medium to medium-low heat stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and leaves a thick film on the back of the spoon. Do not let the mixture boil by controlling the heat.
Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool down for 5 minutes at room temperature. Then, add the chocolate and mix well until fully incorporated.
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap, ensuring that it touches the surface, and leave it to cool down to room temperature. Speed up the process by placing the mixture in the fridge or freezer, but don’t let it cool down lower than room temperature.
Whip up the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Add the egg mixture to the whipped cream and whisk until homogeneous in consistency.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then, transfer the soft ice cream to a container, close it tightly, and refrigerate further until the ice cream is at desired consistency.
To make no-churn ice cream, transfer the whipped cream and egg yolk mixture into an air-tight container or in a container and close it with plastic wrap to they touch each other, and place it in the freezer for 4 hours or overnight. I use a loaf pan and plastic wrap.
