Make Your Own Rich Chocolate Ice Cream

Craving a rich, velvety chocolate ice cream made from scratch? This easy-to-follow recipe combines the deep flavor of unsweetened cocoa with the natural sweetness of cane sugar and brown sugar, all blended with whole or raw milk and heavy cream. The result? A luscious, egg-free treat that’s perfect for any chocolate lover.

I bought a Cuisinart ice cream maker which is easy to use. There’s a simple on and off button, and all you do is put the double-insulated mixing bowl in your freezer for about 24 hours before it’s ready to use. Depending on your freezer, it can be ready in less time, as little as 12 hours.

As I love chocolate, I thought I’d make some and here’s my recipe which makes just under 2 quarts. I didn’t have enough containers and didn’t want the ice cream to overflow.

I’d recommend using a strong silicon, rubber or wood spatula or spoon to remove your ice cream from the cold mixing bowl. Metal spoons will scratch the mixing bowl which could damage it.

Ingredients:

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted https://amzn.to/4jSHrdA
2/3 cup organic cane sugar https://amzn.to/42KFOHJ
1/2 cup light brown sugar https://amzn.to/4iGuWkd
3/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt https://amzn.to/3Gr0T2x
1 cup raw milk [or whole milk]
3 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract https://amzn.to/42QRybZ

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, brown sugar, and salt.

Whisk in milk, mixing until the sugars and cocoa powder are dissolved.

Pour in cream and vanilla extract.

Turn on the ice cream maker and pour the mixture into the freezer bowl.

Then place the cover on top, and let it mix ’til it thickens which is about 25-30 minutes.

Your chocolate ice cream will be like a soft serve style. Turn off the machine and scoop the ice cream into bowls if eating immediately. For storage, add to a freezer-safe container.
