Summer days can’t be complete without our favorite summer dessert that helps us stay cool – that’s right, we’re talking about ice cream. It gets even better when we tell you that you can make a delicious chocolate ice cream all by yourself, using only five ingredients.
Melissa Stadler from Modern Honey shared this recipe for a super creamy and smooth homemade ice cream you should definitely try this summer.
Ingredients
- 7 ounces 50% – 70% Dark Chocolate finely chopped (1 cup)
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 3/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Place the chopped chocolate in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar and heat over medium-low heat. Whisk often to dissolve the sugar. Before the mixture comes to a boil, remove from heat.
- Pour hot cream mixture over chocolate and vigorously whisk until chocolate is completely melted.
- Return to medium-low heat for 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
- Pour mixture into a bowl and place in refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, until completely chilled.
- Once the mixture is completely cold, stir in vanilla.
- Pour into ice cream maker and mix according to manufacturer’s instructions. To harden ice cream so it is scoopable, transfer ice cream to a freezer-proof container. Cover tightly and freeze until ice cream is firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
