CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

  
I absolutely love this chocolate ice cream recipe for its rich creaminess and its delectable bitter sweet taste. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser , and anyway, when can you ever go wrong with chocolate   

 
 The recipe is very simple and don’t worry if you don’t have an ice cream maker , even I didn’t ! All you need to do is follow the instructions given in this link of brown eyed baker’s blog  http://www.browneyedbaker.com/how-to-make-homemade-ice-cream-without-an-ice-cream-maker/
 This recipe is from the book the perfect scoop , but i have changed it a bit .

1 cup full fat milk 

150 gms dark cooking chocolate ( chopped) 

5 tbs Dutch processed cocoa powder

Then shift this mixture back to the pan and keep stirring constantly till the mixture coats the back of your spoon ( wooden spoon ) 

Then pass this mixture through the sieve and into the chocolate mixture you made earlier
