Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Components:
- 1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Dairy Components:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
Sweet and Flavor Components:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, cocoa powders, and salt in a medium saucepan, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any lumps.
- Heat the mixture over medium temperature, continuously stirring to prevent scorching, until it reaches a rolling boil.
- Immediately remove from heat and incorporate vanilla extract, blending smoothly.
- Allow the liquid mixture to cool completely at room temperature, which helps develop deeper flavor profiles.
- Refrigerate the cooled base for a minimum of 2 hours, ensuring it becomes thoroughly chilled and develops a rich consistency.
- Pour the cold mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s recommended settings, typically 20-25 minutes.
- During the final 3-5 minutes of churning, gradually sprinkle chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the developing ice cream.
- Carefully transfer the freshly churned ice cream into an airtight freezer-safe container.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to achieve optimal texture and hardness.
- Serve chilled and savor the intense double chocolate experience.
Notes
- Ensure precise temperature control while heating to prevent scorching and achieve smooth consistency.
- Opt for high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for rich, intense chocolate flavor.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly before churning to guarantee optimal ice cream texture and prevent ice crystals.
- For dairy-free alternative, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut milk or almond milk for creamy, vegan-friendly dessert.
