Ice Cream Base

Method

Preparation

1

Mixing the Base

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar and cocoa powder are fully dissolved.

2

Chill the Mixture

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until it is thoroughly chilled.

3

Churning the Ice Cream

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it thickens and reaches a soft-serve consistency.

4

Adding Chocolate Chips

During the last few minutes of churning, add the chocolate chips and optional chili powder to the mixture, allowing them to incorporate evenly.

5

Freezing

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
