The Best Chocolate Ice Cream at Home - Some Tips For Success

There aren't too many things that the whole family can agree on but chocolate ice cream is generally one of them. There is something about the wonderful creamy texture, coolness, sweetness and not forgetting the rich chocolateniness that works so wonderfully well together. Making it at home only adds to the experience. When you scoop out the servings after dinner knowing that everyone had a hand in the desert's creation it just seems to taste twice as good.

Another big benefit is that you can adjust the ingredients so match your own tastes. Manufactured frozen deserts are heavily regulated and while this ensures excellent quality control, you generally won't get a bad experience from the supermarket, it does mean that most brands taste very similar - there's a lot of goods, but very few greats. At home you are free of these restrictions. You can develop your own touch exactly as you'd like it.

Using the very best quality ingredients you can afford is key. There is a world of difference between cheap milk chocolate and dark with 70% cocoa solids. Choose the unsweetened variety and you can regulate the taste. A good starting point is adding the same quantity of sugar as of the chocolate product. Add a little less for a more mature bitter taste, perfect for adults. For children, throw a bit more in so that it's nice and sweet, the way kids like it.

For an even more richness you could consider throwing in a crumbled brownie, cookies or chips or even a liquor

You may need to churn this mixture a little bit longer than for most recipes as the cocoa powder can slow the "whip". Remember too that a homemade batch won't be nearly as dark as a factory produced tub full of flavors and coloring. It will taste a lot better though!

You should have everything you need to attempt this except perhaps for your very own ice cream maker
