This decadent homemade chocolate ice cream recipe gets its rich flavor from brewed coffee and semisweet chocolate and its creaminess from an egg custard made with whipping cream and half-and-half. Ingredients:
1 (8-ounce) package semisweet chocolate squares, coarsely chopped |
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee |
2 cups whipping cream |
1 cup half-and-half |
3/4 cup sugar, divided |
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules |
4 egg yolks |
Directions:
1. Microwave chocolate in a 1-quart microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until melted, stirring twice; stir in brewed coffee. Set chocolate mixture aside.
2. Bring whipping cream, half-and-half, 1/2 cup sugar, and coffee granules to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar and coffee dissolve.
3. Beat yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar at high speed with an electric mixer until thick and pale. With mixer at low speed, gradually pour hot cream mixture into yolk mixture; return to saucepan.
4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 6 to 8 minutes or until mixture thickens and coats a spoon. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate mixture. Cover and chill 2 hours.
5. Pour chilled mixture into freezer container of a 5-quart hand-turned or electric freezer. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
6. Pack freezer with additional ice and rock salt, and let stand 1 hour. Serve ice cream with cookies, if desired.
