Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.33 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 4 oz Semi-sweet chocolate
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, cocoa powder, and salt. Heat over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the mixture just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 2

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and thick.

Step 4

Slowly temper the egg mixture by adding 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture to the eggs while continuously whisking to prevent curdling.

Step 5

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture. Return to medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (approximately 170–175°F).

Step 6

Remove the custard from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any solids.

Step 7

Allow the custard to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely chilled.

Step 8

Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 9

Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up the texture before serving.

Step 10

Serve scooped in bowls or cones, and enjoy Jerry’s rich chocolate ice cream!
