Chocolate Ice Cream
I pulled our White Mountain ice cream maker down from the cupboard above the refrigerator today... it's been awhile since we made a batch of homemade ice cream. This particular chocolate recipe is a combination of two recipes from a Ben & Jerry's book and a Williams-Sonoma book. The result is a chocolate ice cream that is light enough to allow for mix-ins like peanut butter cups, Oreos, etc.

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
½ cup unsweetened coca powder
3 cups milk
4 eggs
1½ cups sugar
2 cups cream
2 tsp vanilla

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Add 1 cup of the milk and whisk until smooth. Gradually add cocoa and whisk to combine. Add remaining milk. Remove from hit and chill. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl about 1 to 2 minutes. Blend in sugar ½ cup at a time and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in cream and vanilla. Combine with cooled chocolate mixture.

Transfer to ice cream maker. The White Mountain ice cream maker will freeze the ice cream in about 25 minutes (ymmv). Remove frozen ice cream from ice cream maker, add mix-ins (optional), and place in freezer to harden.

(Update Fri May 30 10:06:52 PDT 2008 // 3 cups cream -> 2 cups cream... oops)
