Never On Sunday Chocolate Ice Cream

Never on Sunday Chocolate Ice Cream recipe image
This luxurious chocolate ice cream is a decadent treat that combines the rich, velvety texture of a classic French custard with the bold, smoky warmth of Jack Daniel's whiskey. The base is crafted from heavy cream and half-and-half, infused with both unsweetened cocoa powder and chopped semi-sweet chocolate for an intense, complex chocolate flavor that stands up to the spirit. The eggs provide a silky mouthfeel, while the sugar balances the bitterness of the cocoa. Best served on special occasions or as an indulgent dessert after a hearty meal, this recipe offers a sophisticated twist on traditional ice cream. The whiskey not only adds flavor but also helps keep the ice cream slightly softer, making it easier to scoop and enjoy.

Ingredients
  • 2 cup Heavy cream
  • 2 cup Half and half
  • 2/3 cup Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa powder
  • 2 1/2 ounce Semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 6 Eggs, well-beaten
  • 1/2 cup Jack Daniels whiskey
Directions
  1. 1
    Combine heavy cream and half-and-half in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. 2
    Heat the mixture until it just begins to simmer, stirring occasionally.
  3. 3
    Whisk in sugar and cocoa powder until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  4. 4
    Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate.
  5. 5
    Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is glossy and uniform.
  6. 6
    In a separate bowl, ensure the eggs are well-beaten.
  7. 7
    Very gradually whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs to temper them, preventing scrambling.
  8. 8
    Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.
  9. 9
    Return the saucepan to medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, for 10-15 minutes.
  10. 10
    Continue cooking until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and registers 170F (76C) on an instant-read thermometer.
  11. 11
    Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits or lumps.
  12. 12
    Place the bowl in an ice bath or refrigerate, stirring frequently, until the custard is completely cool.
  13. 13
    Once cooled, stir in the Jack Daniel's whiskey until well combined.
  14. 14
    Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  15. 15
    Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up before serving.
