Ingredients
Scale
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
4 large egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Heat until warm but not boiling.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour in some of the warm mixture while whisking to temper the eggs.
Return the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan and cook on low, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate and vanilla extract until smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
For extra richness, add chocolate chips or a fudge swirl before freezing.
Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
