Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk whole
  • 4 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup (I use a homemade thick simple syrup for this instead by mixing 8 tablespoons of sugar with 2 tablespoons of hot water. This makes a half a cup of homemade corn syrup, which I use two tablespoons of and I normally use the rest to make some lemonade)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese , softened
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate , melted for pouring into base while in the ice cream maker

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine 1/4 cup milk and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  2. In a saucepan mix the remaining milk, cream, homemade corn syrup, sugar and salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat.
  4. Cook for 4 minutes, then pour in the milk and cornstarch mixture.
  5. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until thickened.
  6. Put cream cheese in a bowl and pour in a half cup of the hot milk into it. Let sit for 10-15 seconds Whisk it together until completely smooth.
  7. To make the chocolate sauce:
  8. Put cocoa, coffee, and sugar into a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
  9. Cook for 30 seconds.
  10. Stir in the 1 1/2 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and stir until completely smooth.
  11. Combine the chocolate sauce with the ice cream base.
  12. Put the mixture into the refrigerator to cool. Alternately you can put it in the freezer to cool faster, but don't let the mixture freeze.
  13. When the mixture is cold pour it into your ice cream maker and churn as you normally do in your machine.
  14. Once the mixture has started freezing a little, after 10 minutes or so, pour in the melted chocolate in a thin pour. This will make chocolate streaks in your ice cream.
