Description

This Dark Fudge Ice Cream is the ultimate indulgent treat for serious chocolate lovers. By starting with a base of melted unsweetened chocolate and butter, you achieve a depth of flavor that mixes simply cannot replicate. The addition of corn syrup ensures the ice cream remains exceptionally soft and scoopable, even after freezing. The custard base, enriched with eggs and half-and-half, provides a luxurious, silky mouthfeel that coats the palate with every bite. Vanilla extract adds a subtle aromatic warmth that complements the dark cocoa notes perfectly. This dessert is ideal for winter evenings, special celebrations, or when you simply need a comforting, high-quality treat. It pairs beautifully with warm brownies or fresh berries for a balanced finish.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large, heavy saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
  2. Stir in the sugar, corn syrup, and 2/3 cup of the half and half.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until it comes to a full boil.
  4. Once boiling, remove from heat and let stand for 4 minutes without stirring.
  5. In a small bowl, beat the eggs lightly until just blended.
  6. Slowly stir about 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs to temper them.
  7. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture, stirring constantly.
  8. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 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, whipping cream, and the remaining half and half.
  11. Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  12. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
