Ultra-Rich Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 0.75 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 egg yolk, lightly beaten
• 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Assemble all necessary ingredients for the chocolate ice cream.
2. In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt over medium heat. Stir continuously, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
3. Place the egg yolks in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in approximately 1/2 cup of the heated milk mixture, then return the mixture to the saucepan. Heat and stir until the mixture thickens, being careful not to boil.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat source, and stir in the chopped chocolate until it is completely melted and smooth.
5. Pour the mixture into a chilled bowl. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thoroughly cold, approximately 2 hours.
6. Incorporate cream and vanilla into the mixture. Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's guidelines, about 20 minutes. Move the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze until it reaches a firm consistency.
