Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream Think rich and lush—the backbone of ultra-creamy ice cream!
  • 1 cup whole milk Adds creaminess you just can't get with skim.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Perfect measure to keep things sweet, but not cloying.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder For deep, classic chocolate flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder Gives your ice cream a smoother finish.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Balances sweetness and lets the cocoa shine.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds warmth and depth.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips Semi-sweet or dark for dreamy bits in every scoop.

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a big bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, both types of cocoa powder, and salt until silky-smooth.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.

Chilling

  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Churning

  • Pour the cold mixture into your ice cream maker and churn for 20–25 minutes, or until thick.
  • In the last 2–3 minutes, sprinkle in the chocolate chips.

Freezing

  • Scoop the ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours.

Serving

  • Enjoy your homemade double chocolate ice cream straight from the cone, bowl, or spoon!
