TASTY Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream at Home
TASTY Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream at Home - A creamy, chocolaty, silky smooth chocolate ice cream recipe with chocolate chips on top to give it a nutty texture.
Equipment
- Refrigerator
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- ½ Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
- ¼ Cup Cocoa Powder
- ¼ Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 200 gm Dark Chocolate Melted
- 100 gm Butter I used salted butter (to melt chocolate and make chocolate ganache)
- 100 gm Dark Chocolate Chips for decoration on top
Decoration
- ¼ Cup Chocolate Shavings optional
- 2 Bricks Dark Chocolate optional
- 3-4 tablespoons Melted Chocolate I used Hershey's Chocolate Syrup
Instructions
- Make a Double Boiler and melt dark chocolate brick with butter. Keep the flame low all the while. Keep stirring constantly. You should not cook your chocolate. If you feel the pan is hot enough then turn off the flame and cover your pan with chocolate and butter with a lid or a plate and leave it as it is for at least 20-30 minutes. It will melt on its own.If you are in a hurry you don't have to melt it in a double boiler. Take a non-stick pan and add butter along with dark chocolate. Keep the flame low and keep stirring constantly. Be very careful as it will start to stick to the pan and get cooked. We don't have to cook it. If it has a granular texture then add some more butter and keep stirring constantly. Make a smooth and silky chocolate ganache.
- In a large bowl take heavy whipping cream. Beat it with a hand-held electric blender or a stand mixer for at least 5-7 minutes starting from low and going to high until you see stiff peaks.
- Add cocoa powder, pure vanilla extract, condensed milk, and cocoa powder to your whipped cream and beat until you see stiff peaks. Refer to the image on the blog post or see the video for reference.
- I used a loaf pan to take it out. You can use any bowl or anything you want.
- Sprinkle Dark Chocolate Chips on top and freeze it for at least 24 hours or more in the freezer.
- Take out your pan or bowl with Ice Cream and take an ice cream scooper to take out one scoop. Serve with some melted chocolate and chocolate shavings on top.You can also decorate it by adding a brick of dark chocolate behind it. Enjoy!
