Homemade old-fashioned ice cream, what could be
better? I remember being much younger and my mom
making vanilla ice cream using rock salt, ice and an
electric ice cream maker. It would come out of the
ice cream maker soft and soupy. I don’t remember the
ice cream ever actually making it to the freezer, as
my brother and I would eat it as soon as it was
ready from the ice cream maker.
Being older now, I still enjoy vanilla as much as
the next person, but love many new flavours such as
this chocolate
mocha almond ice cream recipe. I hope
you will as well.
1 Cup whole milk
5/8 Cup granulated sugar
8 Ounces milk chocolate chips
2 Cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 Tablespoons Coffee concentrate syrup (can instead
use cold coffee or instant espresso)
|
|
Heat the whole milk until it is just
bubbling around the edges (this can
be done on the stovetop or in the
microwave). In a blender or food
processor fitted with a metal blade,
pulse to process the sugar with the
chocolate until the chocolate is
very finely chopped. Add the hot
milk; process until well blended and
smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl
and let the chocolate mixture cool
completely. Stir in the heavy cream,
vanilla and almond extract. Cover,
refrigerate, and chill for 2 hours
longer. |
Following the directions on your ice cream maker,
pour the mixture into the container and let mix
until thick, about 20-25 minutes. Can be enjoyed
immediately or if you want a firmer ice cream,
transfer into an airtight freezer container and
place in the freezer at least 2 hours.
***This recipe is for a 1-½ quart ice cream maker
container. Do not double these recipes, as the
mixture will expand while it is being stirred in the
ice cream maker.***
This is a very smooth and silky
chocolate ice cream
recipe that would be perfect with another dose of
chocolate sauce drizzled on top and sprinkled with
sliced almonds. Happy eating!
