Ice Cream Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Cream Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm but not boiling.

  2. 2

    Mix Cocoa Powder

    Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully incorporated and smooth. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Add Flavorings

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

  4. 4

    Chill the Base

    Once cooled, pour the mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.

  5. 5

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add Chocolate Chips

    In the last few minutes of churning, add the chocolate chips to the ice cream maker.

  7. 7

    Freeze

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