Horchata Ice Cream
Method
Chocolate Cake
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
Bake the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool.
Churros
Add Eggs
Add eggs to the cooled mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and thick.
Fry the Churros
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle. Pipe 4-6 inch strips into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Chocolate & Caramel Sauce
Make the Caramel Sauce
In a saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns amber. Gradually whisk in heavy cream and cocoa powder until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract.
Horchata Ice Cream
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the horchata mixture with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Churn the Ice Cream
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once churned, mix in heavy cream. Freeze until firm.
