Chocolate Ice Cream

Lots of heavy cream makes this recipe smooth and luxurious. For extra decadence, toss in a half cup of dark chocolate chips to the final few spins of the ice cream machine.

INGREDIENTS

1.    3 cups heavy cream 1 cup whole milk

2.    ¾ cup sweetened cocoa powder

3.    2 tablespoons cocoa powder

4.    ¼ cup brown sugar

5.    ⅔ cup sugar Pinch salt

6.    1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Sweetened Cocoa Powder

Not to be confused with regular or Dutch-processed cocoa powders, sweetened cocoa powder is not interchangeable in baking recipes that call for unsweetened or natural cocoa. Sweetened cocoa powder is not as intense, it is sweet, and is intended for use in drinks and goods that are typically unbaked.

1.    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients except vanilla until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Stir to combine.

          2.    Allow chilling in the refrigerator for 3–4 hours, or overnight.

3.    Once chilled, add to the ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for freezing.
