Ice cream can cost as much to make as when you buy it at the store but homemade is a superior taste and if you can find heavy cream on sale, can still be a good value.
I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker. Follow your maker’s recommendations for chilling the container
Summary
- Prep Time: 10 min
- Cook Time: 15-20 min “chill time” in maker
- Other: 2 hrs (chill mixture) + 4 hours (firm up ice cream before eating)
- Total Time: 6 hr 30 min
- Servings: 10
- Yield: 5 cups
Ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup (28g) cocoa powder, sifted
- 1⁄2 cup (99g) granulated sugar
- 1∕3 cup (71g) packed dark brown sugar
- pinch salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1⁄2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa, sugars and salt. Add the milk and, using a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk, beat to combine until the cocoa, sugars and salt are dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or overnight.
- Turn the Cuisinart® ice cream maker on; pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 15 to 20 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 2-4 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
Adjustments
- None
