Deep chocolate notes make this ice cream taste exact like a French silk pie. It’s everything you want when you’re looking for creamy, chocolate ice cream goodness!
Whisk together the milk, heavy cream, corn syrup, and salt.
1 ¾ cups whole milk, 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch. Mix until evenly combined, then whisk into the milk mixture along with the corn syrup and salt.
¾ cup dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder, 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Place over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture starts to steam. While coming up to a warm temperature, cut the chocolate into small pieces and set aside. Continue to whisk and bring the ice cream mixture to a boil. When boiling throughout, remove from heat. Pass through a strainer if needed.
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
Whisk in vanilla and chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
Pour into an airtight container and chill 8-10 hours.
To freeze, remove it from the refrigerator and pour it into the ice cream freezer. Follow the directions with your freezer; each one can vary. My KitchenAid stand mixer (affiliate link) with ice cream maker attachment(affiliate link) takes about 20-25 minutes to freeze fully.
Transfer to an airtight container and place in a deep freeze for an additional 4-6 hours, until hardened.
