1
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
2
Heat Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk until the mixture is heated through and the sugar and cocoa powder have dissolved, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
3
Chill the Mixture
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Then, cover it and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold.

4
Prepare Ice Cream Maker
Make sure your ice cream maker is ready and frozen according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5
Churn the Ice Cream Base
Pour the chilled chocolate mixture into the ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
6
Add Optional Mix-ins
During the last few minutes of churning, add in chocolate chips or chopped nuts if desired.

7
Transfer to Container
Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to an airtight container.
8
Freeze
Smooth the top with a spatula, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
