 Bitter Chocolate Ice Cream


Bitter Chocolate Ice Cream

This Bitter Chocolate Ice Cream is a rich, deep-flavored dessert for those who love dark chocolate. The bitterness of the chocolate is balanced by the creaminess of the ice cream base, making it a perfect treat for chocolate lovers.

Ingredients (Serves 6-8):

  • 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Chocolate:

    • In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Prepare the Custard Base:

    • In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and 1 cup of cream over medium heat until it begins to steam (do not let it boil).
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and slightly thickened.
    • Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
    • Once the milk is fully incorporated, return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not allow it to boil.

  3. Combine with Chocolate:

    • Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.

  4. Chill the Mixture:

    • Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to chill thoroughly.

  5. Churn the Ice Cream:

    • Once the mixture is well-chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  6. Freeze the Ice Cream:

    • After churning, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

  7. Serve:

    • Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

  • Texture Enhancements: Add a handful of chopped chocolate, nuts, or caramel swirls into the ice cream during the last few minutes of churning for added texture.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a teaspoon of instant coffee or a splash of bourbon to enhance the richness of the chocolate flavor.
  • Sweetness Adjustments: Adjust the sugar depending on how bitter or sweet you prefer your ice cream. You can also use a sweeter chocolate if you prefer a milder flavor.
