Time 7h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups milk
⅔ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1 pinch salt
4 egg yolks
3 ½ ounces dark chocolate
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat milk, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until milk is barely simmering.
  • Beat egg yolks in a bowl; gradually stir in about 1/2 cup hot milk mixture. Beat until smooth. Transfer egg yolk mixture back to the saucepan and continue cooking and stirring until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and stir melted chocolate into milk-egg mixture; transfer mixture to a large bowl, cover, and refrigerate until well-chilled, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Stir cream and vanilla extract into chilled chocolate mixture and pour into an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency. Transfer ice cream to a lidded container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should be placed in the freezer at least 2 hours or overnight.

Time 5h10m

Yield 10 servings (5 cups total)

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine salt
2 cups heavy cream, cold
Rocky Road: 1/2 cup chocolate-covered almonds, crushed, and 2/3 cup mini marshmallows
Malted: two 5-ounce boxes chocolate malted milk balls, halved or coarsely chopped
Smoky and Spicy: 1 tablespoon chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, chopped

Steps:

  • For the ice cream: Whisk together the condensed milk, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. The mixture will become very thick; set aside.
  • Whip the cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the cocoa mixture with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold the lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into a chilled 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan, and freeze, covered, until thick and creamy, like soft-serve, about 2 hours. Swirl in any desired mix-ins with a spoon. Continue to freeze, covered, until solid and scoopable, about 3 hours more.

Time 8h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled, plus 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Assorted chocolate sprinkles and toppings, for garnish

Steps:

  • Chill a 9-inch loaf pan or glass container in the freezer.

  • To one of the bowls, add the cocoa powder, melted semisweet chocolate and chocolate chips, then fold into the whipped cream.
  • To the second bowl of whipped cream, add the melted white chocolate and chopped white chocolate, then fold in.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the ice cream will be. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Don't overmix the ice cream. Overmixing will make the ice cream icy and grainy. Mix the ice cream just until it is combined and smooth.
  • Chill the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the ice cream to firm up.
  • Serve the ice cream with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles, and chopped nuts.
