Easy to make, but hard to resist! This chocolate ice cream with chocolate chunks may not be the most adventurous of flavors, but it's the one that I will always turn to time and time again.

Ingredients
- ½ cup chopped bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon sifted Dutch-processed cocoa
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup corn syrup
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon bourbon optional, but helps with texture
- ¼ to ½ cup rough chopped semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
-
Place the chopped chocolate in a large bowl.
-
Whisk the sugar and cocoa powder together to break up any lumps of cocoa.
-
Combine the sugar and cocoa powder with the heavy cream, milk, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking regularly to dissolve the sugar. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and bourbon (if using).
-
Pour this mixture over the chopped chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
-
Refrigerate or chill the mixture over an ice bath until it is very cold. Refrigerating overnight is a great idea.
-
Transfer the mixture to a pre-chilled ice cream maker and churn into ice cream.
-
Serve soft serve style or transfer to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours for a harder, scoopable texture.
