I had no idea of making this ice cream but when I make the Brooklyn Blackout Cake, I had about 1 cup of chocolate custard left over. So I decided to use it while making chocolate ice cream. And it turned out to be an awesome idea!
This custard turned a simple chocolate ice cream into an exotic ice cream! Everybody loved this ice cream so much that now a days, whenever I make chocolate ice cream, I make the custard exclusively to add to it!
CHOCOLATE CUSTARD ICE CREAM
Preparation time 30 mins | Setting time 8 hours | Makes 1.5L
Ingredients
For the chocolate custard
1. For the custard - Make the custard first as it needs to rest awhile before we can use it in the ice cream.
2. Take the chocolate and coffee granules in a microwave safe bowl and melt it and set aside. Add about a 1/4 cup of milk to the corn flour and mix well without any lumps.
3. Take the remaining milk in a sauce pan, add the sugar, cornflour mixture, melted chocolate and salt.
5. Take it off the flame, add the vanilla and let it cool down. Then cover and let it rest for about 2 hours till it becomes thick.
6. To make the ice cream - Take 1 cup of cream in a steel bowl, add the vanilla to it and whip for about 5 minutes until it reaches a soft peak stage.
7. Add the fresh cream and beat again for 3 minutes.
8. Add the chocolate custard and beat well until it's fully incorporated.
9. Add the condensed milk and beat again.
10. Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
11. Transfer to a container and cling wrap and let it set in the freezer for 8 hours. I left it overnight.
12. Scoop out and enjoy!
Notes
1. I have used all the chocolate custard.
2. You can add the custard little by little and beat well to incorporate.
3. Make sure the custard is at room temperature.
4. I have used non dairy whipping cream (which is pre sweetened) as that is what I get here, if you use dairy whipping cream, use 2 cups of it and increase the condensed milk. No need to add the fresh cream then.
5. You can add anywhere between 1/3 to 1/2 cup of condensed milk depending on your taste and preference.
Until next time,
