The kids made vanilla back in June, and that recipe, which came from Food and Wine, was outstanding. A few days ago, they tried a new chocolate gelato recipe from Epicurious, which again, was outstanding.
Tonights recipe comes courtesy of Diannes Dishes - with just a few tweaks, they had the most delicious chocolate ice cream they've ever had. We don't have any pictures of them making the base, since the camera battery was charging.
Dark Chocolate Ice Cream5 ½ oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped (we used Ghirardelli)
2 cups heavy cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup half and half (we used ½ cup cream, ½ cup milk)
½ tsp vanilla
In a small saucepan, melt chocolate with ½ cup cream over low heat. Watch carefully so the mixture doesn’t get too hot. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Add remaining ingredients, stir well and chill until cold. Process according to your ice cream makers instructions.
They topped it off with homemade hot fudge sauce, whipped cream, and rainbow sprinkles:
Nothing tastes better on a hot day!
Do you think they enjoyed it?
I wonder what flavor they'll come up with next?
