Chocolate Ice Cream Delight

Rich, smooth, and irresistibly chocolatey—this homemade ice cream is a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike. No fancy ingredients, just pure comfort in every scoop.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
100 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Warm the base: In a saucepan, whisk milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt over medium heat until smooth and just steaming (don’t boil).
Melt the chocolate: Remove from heat, add chopped chocolate, and stir until fully melted.
Cool & enrich: Stir in heavy cream and vanilla. Let the mixture cool completely (chill 2–4 hours for best texture).
Churn: Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20–25 minutes).
Set: Transfer to a container and freeze 2–3 hours for scoopable perfection.

✨ Pro Tips

Extra creamy: Replace ¼ cup milk with more cream.
Deep chocolate flavor: Add 1 tsp instant espresso powder with the cocoa.
Mix-ins: Fold in chocolate chips, brownie bites, or toasted nuts in the last 2 minutes of churning.
