Description

This homemade Fudge Ice Cream is the ultimate chocolate indulgence, crafted with a base of melted unsweetened chocolate and butter for a deep, decadent flavor. The addition of corn syrup ensures a smooth, scoopable texture that resists ice crystals, while the egg-enriched custard base provides luxurious mouthfeel. Its a classic dessert that feels sophisticated yet is approachable enough for weeknight treats or special celebrations. Perfect for chocolate lovers, this recipe delivers intense cocoa notes balanced by creamy dairy. Serve it in waffle cones, with warm brownies, or simply by the spoonful. It freezes beautifully, making it a fantastic make-ahead option for parties or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a heavy medium saucepan, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
  2. Stir in the sugar, light corn syrup, and 2/3 cup of the half and half.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer for 4 minutes without stirring, then remove from heat and set aside.
  5. While the chocolate mixture simmers, beat the eggs in a small bowl until blended.
  6. Gradually stir about 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs to temper them.
  7. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the remaining chocolate mixture in the saucepan.
  8. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
  9. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to lukewarm temperature.
  10. Stir in the vanilla extract, the remaining 1 1/3 cups of half and half, and the whipping cream.
  11. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker's canister.
  12. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions until firm.
