Receta Ben's Chocolate Ice Cream
Who is Ben? Why is his chocolate ice cream so special? Well, it’s Ben from the famous duo Ben & Jerry and his chocolate ice cream is the best that I’ve ever come across. I tried this recipe on a whim right before making many batches of ice cream for my daughter’s fourth birthday party. I have always had good luck with my other two recipes (chocolate ice cream 1 and chocolate ice cream 2) that I’ve made in the past, but I wanted to see what else was out there. I’m glad I did, because I’m stopping here. I haven’t tried Jerry’s yet, and I’m sure it’s good, but Ben’s is perfection to me, my family, and everyone else who has tried it so I think we’re good! This chocolate ice cream is rich and deep with flavor, thanks to the pinch of salt that brings out the chocolate. It’s so easy to make, much easier than other recipes I’ve come across.
Ben’s Chocolate Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 4 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 1 cup milk, slightly warm
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup heavy or whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Melt the unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, boiling, water. Gradually, whisk the milk and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Add the cream, vanilla, and salt and whisk to blend.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1 to 3 hours, depending on your refrigerator.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions.
