Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream
Last night I got out my Cuisinart Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker. I still don’t know if I like it or not. I’ve used it 3 times now, twice with their recipes and once with mine. I still have yet to get soft serve ice cream from it. This time I let the machine run over 30 minutes and it just began to make a slight thin swirl when it came out of the machine. It has always been way to soft and I then end up putting it in the freezer to harden. I may have well used my regular ice cream maker and saved myself the cleanup of the machine. It is not a lot of fun to wash, there are pieces to the machine and one piece is difficult to clean.
I did make a really delicious, rich chocolate ice cream in it however and the recipe is a keeper.
- 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 C. sugar
- 1 t. vanilla extract
- 1 t. chocolate extract (optional)
- 2 C. heavy cream
- 2 C. milk
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Keep warm.
- Put the eggs, 1 cup milk and sugar into a blender. Blend until the sugar is dissolved and smooth.
- Whisk the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Cook for 2 minutes over low heat. Remove from heat and add heavy cream, remaining milk, chocolate extract and vanilla.
- Chill thoroughly. Transfer to your ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
- Makes slightly more than 1 quart.
