Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup corn syrup, or more sugar*
- 3 Tbsp dutch cocoa powder
- 4 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and the cocoa powder. Whisk in heavy cream, milk and corn syrup. Bring to a simmer over medium heat (it should bubble at the edges of the pan).
- Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl on 50% power in 30 second increments, stir between each until chocolate is melted. Let it cool slightly.
- In a medium heatproof mixing bowl whisk together remaining 1/4 cup sugar with egg yolks until slightly pale and fluff, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in melted chocolate (note that it will likely thicken and seem to set a bit, that's okay).
- While whisking slowly pour in about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolk mixture. Then pour the egg yolk mixture into the pan while whisking somewhat vigourosly.
- Continue to cook, while stirring constantly until the mixture in the saucepan has thickened slightly (it should coat the back of a wooden spoon and register 175 to 180 degrees on an instant read thermometer).
- Immediately pour into a large heat proof mixing bowl and stir in vanilla extract. Cover with plastic wrap while carefully pressing it against the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill through completely in the fridge, at least 6 hours.
- Churn mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturers directions then transfer to a container and freeze in the freezer until firm, about 6 to 12 hours.
Notes
- *The corn syrup just inhibits crystallization of the ice cream but if you'd prefer you can just use more sugar in it's place.
