One of the best purchases I've made recently was a Cuisinart Ice Cream freezer. Last night we decided to give the chocolate flavor recipe that was included with the freezer a try. This is a perfect soft serve version, but the cocoa gave it a deep chocolate flavor. We loved it and dinner guests gave it two thumbs up!
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch process preferred)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 ½ cups whole milk
31/4 cups heavy cream
1 T. pure vanilla extract
Place the cocoa and sugars in a medium bowl; stir to
combine.
Add the whole milk and use a hand mixer on low speed or
whisk to combine until the cocoa and sugars are dissolved, about 1 to 2
minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and
vanilla.
If not freezing immediately, cover and refrigerate until
ready to use.
Turn machine on; pour mixture into freezer bowl, and let mix until thickened,
about 25 to 35 minutes. The ice cream
will have a soft, creamy texture. If a
firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container
and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove
from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
