Death by Chocolate Ingredients:

The Death by Chocolate Ice Cream recipe calls for an ultra-rich, thick, and creamy double chocolate custard-based ice cream.

For the chocolate ice cream base:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large egg yolks
• 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

For the mix-ins:

• 1 cup chocolate fudge sauce
• 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies
• 1 cup chopped brownies (homemade or store-bought)

How to prepare this Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream:

1. Prepare the Base:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk together over medium heat until the sugar and cocoa powder have dissolved, and the mixture is smooth and combined.
• Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat.

2. Temper the Eggs:

• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
• Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.

3. Combine and Cook:

• Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly.
• Place the saucepan back on the stove over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.

4. Add Chocolate:

• Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped bittersweet chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
• Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Chill:

• Pour the mixture into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
• Refrigerate the chocolate.ice cream mixture until thoroughly chilled, preferably overnight.

6. Churn:

• Once chilled, pour the mixture into Ninja Creami recipe maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

7. Mix-ins:

• During the last few minutes of churning, add in the chocolate fudge sauce, crushed chocolate chips, cookies, and chopped brownies. Let the ice cream maker mix them evenly throughout the ice cream base.
• Once the desired consistency is reached, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container. If you prefer a stronger mix-in distribution, you can also layer the ice cream base and mix-ins in the container, repeating until all ingredients are used.

8. Freeze:

• Transfer the churned Death by Chocolate ice cream to a freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly.
• Cover the container tightly with a lid and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

FAQs:

What is Death by Chocolate?

Death by Chocolate is a colloquial descriptive or marketing term for a variety of pastries and sweets containing chocolate, particularly dark chocolate or cocoa, as the main ingredient. The phrase is trademarked in some countries, and the dessert is a hallmark dish of Bennigan’s restaurants in the United States.

Can I use low-fat milk instead of whole milk in the ice cream chocolate?

Whole milk gives the ice cream a richer and creamier texture, but you can use low-fat milk if you prefer. However, the texture may be slightly different.

Can I skip tempering the eggs?

Tempering the eggs ensures they don’t scramble when added to the hot cream mixture. Skipping this step may result in bits of cooked egg in your ice cream.

Do I have to refrigerate the mixture overnight?

Chilling the mixture overnight allows the flavors to meld and develop fully. However, if you’re short on time, you can chill it for at least 4-6 hours.

Can I add nuts or other mix-ins in this chocolate ice cream recipe?

Absolutely! Feel free to customize the mix-ins to your liking. You can add nuts like almonds or walnuts, swap the brownies for chocolate chunks, or even add a swirl of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.

Can I use semi-sweet chocolate instead of bittersweet chocolate?

You can certainly use semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer. It will add a slightly sweeter flavor to the ice cream, but it will still be delicious.

Can I use store-bought chocolate sauce instead of making my own fudge sauce?

Absolutely! Using store-bought chocolate sauce is a convenient option. Just make sure to use a high-quality sauce for the best flavor.
