Indulge in this rich, creamy homemade chocolate ice cream made with milk chocolate and a velvety custard base. Perfectly churned in a Cuisinart ice cream maker, this dessert is a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. Whether enjoyed fresh or stored for later, it’s an easy-to-make treat that tastes like pure decadence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup milk chocolate (broken into small pieces)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Base: In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges. Avoid boiling.
  2. Blend Chocolate and Sugar: In a food processor, combine the sugar and milk chocolate pieces. Pulse until finely chopped.
  3. Combine and Melt: Pour the hot milk mixture into the food processor with the chocolate-sugar blend. Process until smooth, ensuring the sugar dissolves and the chocolate melts completely.
  4. Cool and Chill: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  5. Churn: Pour the chilled mixture into your pre-frozen Cuisinart ice cream maker bowl. Churn according to your machine’s instructions (typically 15–20 minutes) until thick and creamy.
  6. Serve or Store: Serve immediately for soft-serve consistency or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2–4 hours for a firmer texture. Store in the freezer for up to two weeks.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

Serve in bowls or cones with toppings like whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate shavings.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use high-quality milk chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Ensure the base is fully chilled before churning for smoother results.
  • Let frozen ice cream sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping.

Storage & Reheating:

Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent ice crystals. For best texture, consume within two weeks.
