Homemade Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe

This recipe combines vanilla and chocolate flavors into one delicious ice cream. The custard base is rich and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness, while the bittersweet chocolate balances it out.

Ingredients

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Instructions

Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
Cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot, stirring occasionally.
Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl until pale and thick.
Whisk constantly as you slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Take care not to allow it to boil.
Pour the mixture into a clean mixing bowl and add the vanilla extract.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight.
In an ice cream maker, churn the mixture according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a double boiler or microwave, melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth.
When the ice cream is almost done, drizzle in the melted chocolate slowly, allowing it to create ribbons throughout the ice cream.
Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
