Introduction: Satisfy your chocolate cravings with this indulgent homemade chocolate ice cream recipe. With its velvety texture and intense cocoa flavor, this frozen treat is a true delight for any chocolate lover. Let's dive into the recipe and create a batch of creamy goodness!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is hot and the sugar and cocoa powder are fully dissolved.
  3. Add the chopped semisweet chocolate to the saucepan and continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Once the mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
  5. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, then cover the saucepan with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
  6. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
  7. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  8. Transfer the churned chocolate ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  9. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
  10. Scoop the rich and creamy chocolate ice cream into bowls or cones, and enjoy the chocolaty goodness!
