Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate 
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

Method

1. Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering (not boiling) water. Place unsweetened chocolate in bowl and stir occasionally until melted.
2. Gradually whisk in the cocoa. The mixture may clump in the whisk…that’s okay.
3. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking with the chocolate mixture until combined and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool several minutes.
4. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the sugar, a bit at a time, whisking constantly. Once all the sugar has been added, whisk 1 minute more.
5. Add the cream and vanilla; whisk to combine.
6. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and stir. Cover and refrigerate a few hours or overnight.
7. Before transferring to an ice cream maker, remove 1 cup of the mixture into a separate bowl and whisk in the peanut butter until smooth. Add this back into the main mixture and stir.
8. Process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for a few hours to firm up.
