Chocolate Ice Cream, No. 2
A classic chocolate ice cream recipe from 1888.
Ingredients
- 1 quart Heavy cream
- 1/2 pound Granulated sugar
- 2 ounces Unsweetened chocolate
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract (Originally "Royal Extract Vanilla".)
Instructions
- 1Gently warm a small amount of milk. Rub the chocolate into a smooth paste, adding the warm milk a little at a time to prevent clumping.
- 2In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, prepared chocolate paste, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
- 3Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 20-30 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Alternatively, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid, stirring every hour to break up ice crystals.
