Bitter Sweet Chocolate Ice Cream

My favorite bitter sweet chocolate ice cream

Ice cream

Ingredients

1 oz  bitter sweet cooking chocolate (chopped)
1/4 cup Hershey cocoa powder
1 1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup whip cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
1/  Mix the milk, cooking chocolate, cocoa powder and sugar cook in medium flame until sugar and cooking chocolate melt. Whisk till smooth.
2/  Cook  until  you see small bubbles at the side, turn fire to low but don't let it boil.
3/  Use a hand whisk to beat the eggs lightly.  Take 1 cup of the hot milk mixture and add it to the eggs, whisking all the time to prevent the eggs curdle.
4/ Then pour the entire egg mixture to the milk mixture. Continue cooking until the mixture thicken and coats the back of the ladle.
5/ Remove from stove and let it cool. Add vanilla extract and whip cream, stir till well blend.
6/  Cover with cling wrap and leave in the fridge overnight or at least 4 hours.
7/  Put in ice cream maker and start churning.  Can add condiments of your choice.


For those who does not own an ice  maker. Used the following method.
I don't have one either, still in deep thought to buy or not to buy. I'm chanting everyday to buy or not to buy the ice cream maker. Am eying on the Kenwood  brand ice cream maker. I'm also eying on Happy Calls double pan. So I think I should close two eyes and buy both the gadgets. LOL


To make ice cream without ice cream maker

1/  Making ice cream can be done without the use of ice cream maker. An electric mixer or food processor  can be used to break up the ice crystals during the freezing process.
2/  Place ice cream mixture in the freezer and allow the mixture to freeze for 2 hours.
3/  Remove from freezer and beat mixture to break up the ice crystals that are beginning to form.
Repeat step 2 & 3 = 4 times for a smooth and creamy ice cream.
4/  The ice cream  should be thick but soft to scoop. If not thick enough return to freezer for additional freezing time and beat the mixture again.
5/  Once ice cream thickened properly, stir in any condiment of your choice and mix well.
Suggestion of condiments @ toasted chopped almonds, hazelnuts, chocolate chips, peanuts butter chips, chopped oreos.
6/  Pour in air tight container to freeze till set. Enjoy!!

Global warming, yours truly eating ice cream at 12 midnight. LOL

    After cook the ice cream mixture it's better to chill in fridge overnight to adsorb the flavor.

    Hi my dearest Sha, thank you for your kind words and karangan comment yang manis. Tak mau cayang you pun tak boleh ley.... mesti mau cayang you lebih sikit. muahhzzz......

    I lately ada manyak kerja, tak sempat nak masuk N3 3 kali seminggu. So I weekend punya masak kumpul satu kali masuk N3 kasi 3 recipes kaw2x.

    I munkin tak beli ice cream maker sebab gadgets kat dapur sudah manyak tak sempat pakai. Itu panini maker pun sudah tumbuh kulat sudah lama tak pakai. LOL

    Anyway pakai cake mixer atau food processor pun senang juga, ice cream tetap sedap dan lembut.

    Bila mau buat? Jangan lupa jemput saya makan.

    Bila I rindu you or boringgg... I baca your comments from Mon to Fry-day blues. LOL

    Good night and have a nice week ahead, regards.

    Hi Amelia, I sure love that header oic, make me wish I can go fishing.
    My happiest moments in life is when I am alone on a beach somewhere, or jungle lake and fishing, enjoy the solitude, and the thrill of my line being pulled.

    I love ice-cream, and what I do is to buy creamy corn in tin, pour over the ice cream, become jagung ice cream.
    Or lychee, or longan.....
    I keep a stock of these.....when there's a good TV movie, 4 big scoops of ice cream or my additions,

    Sure love your ice cream, not many people make these. Hey, next day try coconut ice cream, send me telegram.
    Have fun.
    Lee.

    Hi Lee, thank you for your kind words and compliments.

    I like this headers, very colorful. Make me feel like go Pulau Redang scuba diving, LOL

    You sure like fishing ya! I think that'most men hobbies. I haven't get a chance to go fishing trip. In JB there are lots of kelong fishing trip with food and lodging provided. Guess I must try out one of this day. LOL

    Wah.. you so innovative, buy instant ice cream and add your own condiments. Good ideal but ask your wife to try out my ice cream recipe, not difficult to make.

    Will make the coconut ice cream for you in my next month posting. But you have to travel by express flight to taste the ice cream, hahaha
