Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 13 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 6 egg yolks, large
- 8 ounces milk chocolate, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
- 13 cup Kahlua
- Prepare an ice water bath by filling a bowl halfway with ice and water; set aside in sink.
- Combine milk, cream, half of the sugar, and cinnamon stick in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, whisk together remaining sugar and egg yolks until pale yellow.
- Once milk mixture is hot, slowly add half of milk mixture into egg mixture (1/2 cup at a time is good to temper the eggs), whisking constantly.
- Pour milk and egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until it is as thick as melted ice cream and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- (When you draw your finger across the spoon, it should make a mark through the custard.
- ).
- Remove from heat, add chocolate, and whisk until chocolate is melted and custard is smooth.
- Whisk in coffee liqueur.
- Strain into a large heatproof bowl and place ice cream base over ice water bath to chill, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Once ice cream base is cold, cover and place in the refrigerator to chill completely, at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Freeze processed ice cream overnight for firmer texture & matured flavor or eat at once in "soft serve" form.
