Chocolate Ice Cream, No. 2

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

  1. 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.
  2. 2In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, prepared chocolate paste, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
  3. 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.
