homemade ice cream?

Warning: Before reading this you need to have an ICE CREAM MAKER at home or something similar. Not a blender or a mixer. Ice cream makers like at McDs & DQ to make those sundaes hmm!Feeling bored at home, and also broke? Crave for a mango cheesecake blizzard from dq or a cornetto mcflurry from Mcds? Well i have a perfect solution to all your problems! Make your own ice cream!

Ok if you are in any way allergic to chocolate or lactose intollerate then don't try this at home (haha i've always wanted to say that!)

Ok heres a recipe on my favourite ice cream ever, chocolate ice cream. :)
  • 185g (3/4 cup) of sugar
  • 250ml (1 cup) of milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa
  • 3 egg yolks, LIGHTLY beaten
  • 600g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 500ml (2 cups) pf thickened cream
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
Instructions:
  1. Combine sugar, milk, salt and cocoa in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer.
  2. Place the egg yolks into a small bowl. Gradually stir in about 1/2 cup of the hot liquid then return the contents of the bowl to the saucepan. Heat until thickened, but do not boil.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until the chocolate is melted. Pour into a chilled bowl and refrigerate for about two hours until cold, stirring occasionally.
  4. When chocolate mixture has completely cooled, stir in the cream and vanilla. Pour into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
So guys i hope this helps, more info try googling any other ice cream recipe, and you NEED an ice cream maker to make ice cream unless you want tempura hahaha
