Whether you've got an ice cream maker or just some ziptop bags, you can make this rich chocolate ice cream at home. A perfect treat scooped on its own or on top of a warm brownie.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  2-5 hrs

ingredients

8 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups heavy cream

directions

In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and salt until blended. Stir cocoa powder into egg-yolk mixture. Gradually whisk in milk.

Cook over medium, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until custard thickens slightly and evenly coats back of spoon (it should hold a line drawn by your finger), 10 to 12 minutes. Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl set over ice. Stir in cream. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until chilled.

Churn in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, place mixture into a doubled Ziploc bag and freeze, shaking every 15 minutes until firm.

Transfer ice cream to a resealable plastic c.ontainer and freeze until firm, about 2 hours (or up to 3 months).
