Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream
This homemade chocolate ice cream is rich, creamy, and far more flavorful than anything you’ll find in a carton.
Ingredients
- 3 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
Recommended Equipment
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the chocolate with the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and milk. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is hot and the chocolate has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Do not let the mixture boil.3 ounces semisweet chocolate | 2 cups heavy cream | 1 cup granulated sugar | 1 1/2 cups milk
- Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl and then, while whisking briskly, add about 1 cup of the hot mixture. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and continue cooking over low heat, stirring, until the mixture coats a spoon or reaches about 175°F to 185°F.3 large egg yolks
- Pour the custard through a wire sieve into a bowl and stir in the vanilla extract. Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard mixture and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 4 hours.1 tsp vanilla extract
- Freeze the chilled custard in an ice cream freezer following the manufacturer's directions. If desired, add mini chocolate chips during the last few minutes of churning.
- Pack the ice cream into a freezer container; cover and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
Adding the hot mixture slowly while whisking constantly keeps the egg yolks from scrambling.
