Long time no read! Things have been pretty busy over here. We have bought a home and moved in, and I’ve just gotten my baking boots back on! Can’t wait to share some pictures of the new house with you!
Who doesn’t love ice cream?! I made vanilla ice cream for Memorial Day, but I couldn’t wait to modify the recipe for some chocolate-y goodness! This recipe is a custard based ice cream and is sooo creamy! Of course I used pastured eggs and raw milk and cream, because if I’m going to eat a treat I want it to be as nutritious as possible! 😉
Chocolate Ice Cream
• 16 egg yolks
• 4 cups milk
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1/4 cup sugar (yes, another)—whisk with cocoa above
• 4 cups cream
• 32oz bag milk chocolate chips
Mix egg yolks and 2c of sugar. Heat milk to 180° without stirring (do skim the film off the top as needed). Combine the milk slowly with the yolk and sugar mixture and heat to 165°. Whisk in the cocoa and sugar while warm. Chill mixture to 65°.
Heat the chocolate chips and cream in double boiler til chips are melted. Chill to 65°.
Combine both and pour into ice cream maker and follow directions of machine to make the ice cream.
