Mocha Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or shaved dark chocolate
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and espresso powder over medium heat. Warm just until sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth (do not boil).
- Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream, vanilla, and salt.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Pour into your ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–25 minutes).
- Stir in chocolate chips or shavings during the last minute of churning (if using).
- Transfer to a container, cover, and freeze for 2–4 hours until firm.
- Scoop and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use decaf espresso powder if you want to skip the caffeine.
- Chill your base thoroughly for best texture and easy churning.
