Decadent Chocolate Bliss Ice Cream

A rich, creamy chocolate ice cream that’s perfect for chocolate lovers, offering a luxurious treat with every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large egg yolks

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the cream, milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture is hot and the sugar has dissolved.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.
  3. Gradually temper the egg yolks by slowly pouring in a small amount of the hot cream mixture while whisking constantly.
  4. Once the egg yolks are tempered, slowly pour them back into the saucepan with the cream mixture, whisking continuously.
  5. Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170°F to 175°F).
  6. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  9. Transfer the churned ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  10. Serve and enjoy your decadent chocolate bliss ice cream!

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use bittersweet chocolate chips or a combination of semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate.
  • Ensure the ice cream mixture is completely chilled before churning to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a container, stirring every 30 minutes for the first few hours to break up ice crystals.
