MEXICAN CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM



Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream image

Adapted this from a recipe on www.chow.com that used Patron ZO Cafe - a coffee-flavored tequila liqueur. I also substituted a regular cinnamon stick for the canela - it's too darned hot now to go a hunting canela up now - maybe in the fall. After ice cream is processed in ice cream maker, let it mature a day in the freezer before serving - unless you prefer soft serve. I included chilling the base but not the overnight maturing in the times.

Time 2h

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cinnamon stick
6 egg yolks, large
8 ounces milk chocolate, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
1/3 cup Kahlua

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice water bath by filling a bowl halfway with ice and water; set aside in sink.
  • Combine milk, cream, half of the sugar, and cinnamon stick in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together remaining sugar and egg yolks until pale yellow. Once milk mixture is hot, slowly add half of milk mixture into egg mixture (1/2 cup at a time is good to temper the eggs), whisking constantly. Pour milk and egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until it is as thick as melted ice cream and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 to 15 minutes. (When you draw your finger across the spoon, it should make a mark through the custard.).
  • Remove from heat, add chocolate, and whisk until chocolate is melted and custard is smooth. Whisk in coffee liqueur. Strain into a large heatproof bowl and place ice cream base over ice water bath to chill, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Once ice cream base is cold, cover and place in the refrigerator to chill completely, at least 3 hours or overnight. Once chilled, freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Freeze processed ice cream overnight for firmer texture & matured flavor or eat at once in "soft serve" form.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: Use a high-percentage (70% or higher) dark chocolate or unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich, authentic flavor.
  • Don't over-blend: Over-blending can make the chocolate grainy. Blend until the mixture is smooth, but not frothy.
  • Chill before serving: Chill the chocolate mixture for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the drink to thicken slightly.
  • Garnish with your favorite toppings: Top the drink with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, cinnamon, or a sprinkle of chili powder for an extra special touch.

Conclusion:

This iced Mexican chocolate express recipe is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of traditional Mexican chocolate. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and hints of cinnamon and chili, this drink is sure to become a favorite. Serve it chilled as a refreshing treat or warm as a comforting beverage on a cold day. Experiment with different toppings and spices to create your own unique variation of this classic recipe.
