Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 250 ml full fat milk
  • 500 ml heavy whipping cream (at least 35% fat)
  • 120 g brown sugar
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla essence

Filling

  • 50 g milk chocolate chips
  • 50 g dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Mixing the ice cream solution

  • Measure sugar into a small bowl.
  • Sift in the cocoa powder.
  • Add salt and mix well until the cocoa powder is well dispersed in the sugar. Set aside.
  • Measure milk into a measuring jug.
  • Add the cocoa-sugar mix into the milk.
  • Stir until the sugar is all dissolved.
  • Add the cream and vanilla essence.
  • Mix to combine.

Method 1: Ice Cream Maker

  • Prepare the ice cream solution as above. Chill it for at least 2 hours or more until it is completely chilled. Churn the ice cream according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
  • At the end of the churning process, if the ice cream is too soft, freeze it for a few hours before mixing in the chocolate chips, otherwise mix in the chocolate chips directly. Freeze again until the ice cream sets completely.

Method 2: Blender/Food Processor

  • Prepare the ice cream solution above. Pour it into an ice cream container and chill for at least 4 to 5 hours or until completely frozen. Do not add the chocolate chips into the ice cream yet.
  • Once frozen, remove the ice cream from the freezer and use a spoon to break it into chunks.
  • Add the ice cream chunks into a blender and blend until smooth, for approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Do not blend too long to avoid the ice cream from melting too much.
  • Pour the blended ice cream back into its container. Let it set slightly before mixing in the chocolate chips to avoid them from sinking to the bottom of the container. Return the ice cream to the freezer to set completely before serving.

Serving the ice cream

  • To serve, scoop the ice cream into serving bowls or ice cream cones.
  • If the ice cream is too hard to scoop, leave it out at room temperature for a minute or two. It will be much easier to scoop.

Notes

Notes
  • When using the blender method, if the frozen ice cream (before blending) is too hard to break with a spoon, leave it out for a minute or two to soften it slightly before trying again.
