Recipe - Chocolate Ice Cream Recipes

NONE

One of the tricks to making chocolate ice cream is getting the chocolate to
melt and mix with the milk properly. The only way I've found is the
following. Melt the chocolate over low heat. At the same time, warm the
milk over low heat in a separate pan. When the chocolate has melted, stir
in a little bit of the milk. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Add some more
milk and again stir until mixed. If the recipe calls for cocoa powder, mix
in a little after stirring in the milk. Repeat until mix is mostly liquid.
At this point, add the remaining milk.

The problem I often have is that no matter how careful I am, bits of
unmelted chocolate will remain at the end. I have given up trying to get
rid of these, and I instead strain them out of the mixture. You can leave
them in if you like, although the bits will taste awful if you have used
unsweetened chocolate.

One alternative is to heat the chocolate and cream together. When chocolate
partially melted, stir in cocoa powder. This is much easier than the above
method, and works okay, but there will be more bits of unmelted chocolate
in the mixture.
