With its deep chocolate flavor, and rich and silky smooth texture, you’ll adore this chocolate ice cream. Although the addition of the fudge sauce could cause you to lapse into a diabetic coma, that recipe is definitely worth sharing as well. My friend, Sharon, drops off a jar every Valentine’s Day…and it’s been a sensational topper for both ice cream and cake this month. This is the second marvelous recipe I’ve tried from David Lebovitz’s The Perfect Scoop, and it won’t be the last~
Chocolate Ice Cream…adapted from David Lebovitz
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
6 tablespoons Dutch process cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine cream, cocoa, sugar and salt in large saucepan. Heat while whisking till the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and add the chocolate, whisking till melted, then add milk and vanilla. David recommends pouring the mixture into a blender and processing for about 30 seconds to make sure no unmelted chocolate particles remain.
Chill in refrigerator overnight or till very cold. Freeze using ice cream maker, following manufacturers instructions.
Sharon’s Fudge Sauce~
1 cup sugar
1/8 t salt
1 teaspoon instant coffee, optional
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup heavy whip cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons rum
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a sauce pan, combine butter and cream and heat until the butter has melted. Add dry ingredients to the cream mixture, constantly whisking. Boil, stirring constantly until thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Add vanilla and rum. Cool and refrigerate unused portion.
Can be reheated in a microwave, as needed.

I have a weakness for chocolate ice cream. With hot fudge, oohh man.

I feel guilty just looking at it

That really looks so decadent!! There are few pleasures greater than a bowl of rich chocolate ice cream drenched in chocolate sauce
Oh Lizzy, this ice cream looks luscious!!!! This recipe has Alex written all over it
That looks decadent. That fudge sauce looks dangerous. I’m not sure any of it would make it on my ice cream

Ranvi, so nice of you to stop by and leave me a comment! Thank you for your sweet thoughts!
I’ll take some chocolate with my chocolate please! I love that the ice cream recipe doesn’t have eggs in in. So simple and uncomplicated.
Oh wow does this ever look heavenly!
THANKS!!!! This is an excellent recipe…and I was surprised how creamy it was despite the lack of eggs.
You have been busy in the kitchen this week!
Hi, Carole!!!
Thanks so much, Brenda! Hope to crack open a cookbook this week and join you on Sunday
Lizzy, I made ice cream yesterday too – I just love my ice cream maker! I have yet to make chocolate though and this looks like the recipe to try. And there’s no such thing as too much chocolate so I’d be having mine with chocolate sauce too (and maybe a little whipped cream). Thank you so much for sharing this with Cookbook Sundays and I hope you come back next month. Have a great week!
OMG, I love it!! Your icecream really looks heavenly great, Lizzy!!! Chocolate and fudge – yummy
Thanks, sweet Mina!!!
