Coffee ice cream with melted dark chocolate

coffee ice cream with melted dark chocolate  

yupzzzzzzzzz...... you'r not blind, indeed..... it is Ice cream!!!! As all of you know what is ice cream, sooooo i will not going to introduce ice cream. TeeHee...

(Seriously, am not)

Ingredient

1 cup of  Milk

1 cup of Whip cream

2 Egg york

1 packet of Coffee powder

2 tbs of Sugar

a pinch of salt

MELT CHOCCO

200gm of Dark chocolate bar

1 tbs of Milk

1 tbs Sugar

Method

Heat the milk in a sauce pan with low heat(so that the milk is not burn), until you see bubble start coming out(not boiling) remove milk from heat. Then add sugar , salt and coffee powder to the warm milk, wisk it until everything dissolve.

PS: im using the old school way, no "ice cream maker " is used during the making

okeyyyyy, now... the mixing part. you can either use your wisk or make use of the tech, by using mixer. first, set to high speed and pour in the egg york, wait for few sec (about 3-5 sec),  then add Whip cream into the mixer until it became thicker. Then.... add the milk solution into the mixer and let it mix well. (for about 6-8 min).

Take your ice cream recipe mixture and carefully pour it into the bowl, then chill in the fridge for up to 2 hours, checking on it after 1 hour. The reason it can take longer than an hour is when a recipe mixture has had cooked ingredients added, therefore thorough chilling will take longer. 

Take the bowl out of the fridge and transfer to the freezer for about half an hour. Then check just how much the mixture has frozen - ideally, it should have started to freeze at the edges but not fully through to the centre. 

Take the bowl out of the freezer and beat the ice cream mixture until it’s creamy once again (to dislodge and break up the ice crystals that have formed).

Put it back in the freezer for another half hour, then remove and once again beat with a whisk.

Do this again so that you have beaten the mixture a total of 3 times whilst freezing in between.

Before putting back the bowl into the freezer, pour the melted chocolate with spoon on top of the ice cream. Put the mixture back into the freezer for a final time until it’s ready to eat. This can take anything from 30 minutes upwards, depending upon the quantity and type of ice cream you’re making and also how you like the consistency of your ice cream (some people like it softer, some harder).

MELTING THE DARK CHOCOLATE

double boil(medium heat) the milk on an metal plate, then add the sugar to the warm milk and let the sugar to dissolve, after that, put the chocolate bar in and let it melt.

TIPS:

please ask if you dont understand, i dont think i really understand what i write

dont use flavour milk( chocolate milk or any other flavour milk)

you can put more coffee power if you want

homemade ice cream is something must try...
