For an even more intense chocolate experience, consider using a combination of semisweet and dark chocolate. Dutch-processed cocoa powder will provide a smoother, less acidic flavor. Chilling the bowl before adding the custard ensures faster cooling and prevents ice crystals from forming. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe! Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals. Store in the freezer for up to two weeks for optimal flavor and texture.

Feb 10, 2023I used dark chocolate and it was a bit too intense for my taste. Next time, I'll stick with semi-sweet.
