Description
A creamy, dreamy homemade chocolate ice cream served in crisp cones, rich in cocoa and easy to churn at home — the perfect nostalgic treat for any day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- ¾ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 6 Ice Cream Cones
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Place your ice cream maker bowl in the freezer the night before you plan to churn.
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Slowly add the milk, whisking until smooth. Heat over medium, stirring often, just until warm and the sugar dissolves.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Remove from heat. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until completely chilled (about 4 hours or overnight).
- Assemble the Dish: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cook to Perfection: Once the mixture reaches soft-serve consistency, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours for firmer scoops.
- Finishing Touches: Scoop generous balls of chocolate ice cream and place them into cones. Add sprinkles, chocolate drizzle, or chopped nuts if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for the ultimate chocolatey indulgence.
Notes
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for richer flavor.
- Chill your base thoroughly before churning for the best texture.
- Store with parchment paper on top to prevent ice crystals.
