1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups of milk, 0.75 cup of sugar, and 0.25 teaspoon salt. Heat over medium heat until warm and the sugar begins to dissolve, stirring occasionally.
2
Slowly whisk in 2 cups of heavy cream. Continue to heat just until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
3
Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly, then refrigerate until completely chilled (about 4 hours or overnight).

4
In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder with 2 tablespoons hot water to form a smooth paste.
5
Stir the cocoa paste into the chilled vanilla base until the mixture is evenly colored. If you prefer sweeter chocolate, whisk in the optional 2 tablespoons additional sugar, then return the base to the refrigerator to chill for another hour.
6
Cover and chill the base until completely cold for best churning results.

7
Churn the base in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until thick and softly scoopable.
8
Transfer to a freezer-safe container, seal, and freeze for at least 4 hours to achieve firm scoopability.
