Chocolate Ice Cream, Philadelphia-Style
- 2 1/4 cups (560 ml) heavy cream
- 6 tablespoons (50 g) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 cup (200 g) sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 6 ounces (170 g) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (250 ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whisk together the cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan.
- Heat the mixture, whisking frequently, until it comes to a full, rolling boil (it will start to foam up).
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate until its completely melted, then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
- Pour the mixture into a blender and blend for 30 seconds, until very smooth.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturers instructions.
- Make Double Chocolate Ice Cream by folding in one recipe of Dark Chocolate Truffles (page 211) or White Chocolate Truffles (page 212).
- For ChocolatePeanut Butter Patty Ice Cream, fold in one recipe of Peanut Butter Patties (page 204) instead.
- In my recipes for ice cream and sorbets, I use the word about when indicating the quantity the recipe will make.
- In general, a custard or other mixture frozen in an ice cream machine designed for home use will increase in volume by around 25 percent once churned.
- The air incorporated into ice cream during churning, by the way, is called the overrun, and commercial ice cream can have up to 120 percent overrun!
- Most of the recipes in this book will make 1 quart (1 liter) of frozen ice cream or sorbet.
- I tested the recipes using two of the most commonly used types of machinesone with a canister that you prefreeze and the other a powerful, self-refrigerated model.
- I found that the ice cream increased in volume in proportion to the power and speed of the machine.
- Hence, the recipes may yield slightly more or slightly less for you.
