Chocolate Ice Cream
Report
This heavenly rich, creamy, and extra-chocolatey ice cream is so good that the extra patience is well worth the reward! It is a big hit with my family, and I think it will be with yours too.

Ingredients
- 7 oz dark chocolate (70% to 75% cacao)
- 2 cups whole milk (480 ml)
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 large egg yolks
- 7 Tbsp sugar (for yolks)
- 6 Tbsp sugar (for caramel)
- 2 Tbsp water
- ¼ cup heavy (whipping) cream
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Finely chop chocolate into small pieces.
- Place chocolate in a medium metal or glass bowl. Set bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir chocolate until melted and smooth. Set melted chocolate aside; let cool slightly.
- Whisk milk and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan over medium heat until mixture begins to boil; set aside.
- In a stand mixer, beat egg yolks and 7 Tbsp (90 g) sugar until very thick ribbons form, about 2 minutes.
- Whisking constantly, gradually add hot milk mixture to egg yolk mixture.
- Return mixture to saucepan.
- Add melted chocolate and whisk to blend. Stir over low heat until slightly thickened and temperature reaches 175°F (80ºC), about 5 minutes.
- Transfer chocolate custard to a large bowl and place over another large bowl of ice water. Stir until chocolate custard is cool.
- Bring the remaining 6 Tbsp (80 g) sugar and 2 Tbsp water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Boil, occasionally swirling the pan (do not stir), until dark amber color forms, about 5 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in cream (mixture will bubble vigorously).
- Whisk caramel into chocolate custard.
- Strain into a large container; cover and chill for 2 days.
- Process custard in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer to another container; freeze for 3 days before eating.
