Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup cookie dough pieces
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar and cocoa powder until well combined and free of lumps.
- Gradually pour in heavy cream and whole milk, whisking continuously to create a smooth mixture.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to steam but does not boil.
- Remove from heat and add dark chocolate chips, stirring until completely melted and incorporated into the mixture.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to a clean bowl and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until completely chilled.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes.
- During the last 5 minutes of churning, gradually add cookie dough pieces to distribute evenly throughout the ice cream.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips for the most intense chocolate flavor.
- Ensure your mixture is completely chilled before churning to achieve the smoothest texture.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture and stir every hour to break up ice crystals.
- For extra decadence, drizzle some melted chocolate over the ice cream before serving.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain its creamy consistency.
- For best results, use a thermometer to ensure the mixture is heated to around 170°F to properly dissolve sugar and create a smooth base.
- Allow the ice cream to soften for a few minutes before scooping for the perfect creamy texture.
