Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the cocoa powder and sugars together in a large bowl until there are no large lumps.
  • Slowly whisk in the milk, then the cream, vanilla, and salt.
  • Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until very cold.
  • Pour into the bowl of your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 3-4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Notes

  • Makes about 1 1/2 quarts ice cream.
  • Whole milk makes the creamiest ice cream, but 2% also works.
  • Do not use light cream (half & half). You need the fat from heavy whipping cream to get a creamy texture and prevent ice crystals.
