Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 240 g high-quality dark chocolate (100 g Jivara milk chocolate and 140 g Caraïbe dark chocolate from Valrhona)
- 750 ml whole milk (or 200 ml cream and 550 ml milk)
Dry Ingredients:
- 30 g powdered milk
- 80 g sugar
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the dairy ingredients, cocoa powder, sugar, and cornstarch until completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Position the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring continuously to prevent scorching and ensure even heating of the mixture.
- Allow the liquid to simmer gently, maintaining a constant gentle movement with your whisk to prevent any settling or burning at the bottom of the pan.
- Continue cooking for approximately 4 to 6 minutes, or until the mixture slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon, indicating the cornstarch has activated and the texture is becoming pudding-like.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the chocolate base to a clean, shallow container, ensuring even distribution for faster cooling.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 5 to 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to completely chill and develop rich, deep chocolate flavors.
- If using an ice cream maker, pour the chilled mixture into the machine and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20 to 25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- For those without an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and stir vigorously with an immersion blender or whisk every 45 minutes to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
- After churning or manual mixing, transfer the ice cream to a sealed container and freeze for an additional 2 to 3 hours until firm and scoopable.
Notes
- Store unused ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain creamy texture.
- Whisk ingredients thoroughly to ensure smooth, lump-free base before heating.
- Chill mixture completely before churning to achieve optimal ice cream consistency.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for rich, intense chocolate flavor.
- Consider adding a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate’s depth and balance sweetness.
- Allow ice cream to soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
