Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Chocolate Ice Cream.
Step 1
Start by filling your sink with several inches of ice water. This will help cool down your custard quickly later on. It's a simple trick that makes a big difference!
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. This is where the chocolate magic begins!
Step 3
Next, in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the milk, evaporated milk, sugar, and your cocoa-egg mixture. Heat this over medium-low heat, whisking constantly. Keep an eye on it as you whisk, and in about 10 minutes, the custard should reach 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). You’ll know it’s ready when it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This is the key to a creamy texture!
Step 4
Once your custard is ready, remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately place it in the ice water bath. Stir the custard continuously until it cools down. This step is crucial to prevent overcooking. After it cools, stir in the vanilla extract for that extra flavor boost!
Step 5
When the custard has cooled to 40 degrees F (4 degrees C), pour it into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to freeze it until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. This is the moment you’ve been waiting for!
Step 6
Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container, making sure to cover the surface with plastic wrap before sealing it. For the best flavor and texture, let it ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or even overnight if you can wait. Trust me, it’s worth it!
