Country-Style Chocolate Ice Cream
By on June 16, 2010 12:08 PM
The first batch of ice cream I made was none other than Marcella Hazan's world famous Gelato di Cioccolato del Cipriani. After months of experimenting with all sorts of ice cream, gelato and sorbet recipes I can firmly say that Marcella's chocolate gelato recipe is by far my favourite. Hence, it's deeply rich, terribly decadent and luxuriously sublime - everything good quality ice cream should be.
Although Hoover loved Marcella's chocolate gelato, Fussy on the other hand found it 'way too rich'. If you are new to this blog I will spare you the frustratingly mundane details about my eldest child's incredibly pedantic palate. Needless to say I have been experimenting behind the scenes trying to come up with a more 'child friendly' chocolate ice cream that even the fussiest of palates will enjoy.
Well I'm thrilled to announce that I've finally done it, with a little help from Tessa and Jacqueline!
Hence, the recipe below is from my dear friend Jacqueline who has cleverly reworked Tessa Kiros charming vanilla ice cream recipe. I must admit I was a little dubious about making ice cream with sweetened condensed milk, but the end result was a wonderfully dense, rich, country-style, chocolate ice cream that the most discerning child critic finally devoured!

I wish I had an ice cream maker so I could try this ! =(
Too rich? Too rich? What a travesty of words to be flowing from your daughter's mouth! :D
However, this does look rather divine too... I have to try that new Lindt 70% too. Somehow I doubt it'll make it into this recipe, even if I tried to hoard it :D
That looks GREAT!
drool! i have never done condensed milk in ice-cream. i have to try this!!
I have to say that as an ice cream/gelato aficionado, this looks amazing...and I LOVE the use of 70% which is always the best for a rich chocolate hit. SO going to try this on the weekend. Thanks :)
I feel so ice cream deprived on this side of the screen. Please ship over a tub full of pistachio, Hazan's ultra deluxe chocolate and deluxe condensed milk ice creams.
That looks like really, really good ice cream. I will have to give this one a try.
Looks delicious - perfect for the kid in all of us!
Agree!
Oh and if you omit the chocolate, you end up with an equally perfect and delicious vanilla ice cream!
Enjoy!
Neither had I until I discovered Tessa's recipe, but in hindsight it's one of those blatantly obvious things.
Or better still, why not get yourself an ice cream machine so to ensure a constant supply of ice cream!
Wow, it sure looks good. anything country made I'm positive is delicious, and especially when it comes to chocolate AND ice cream.
