Chocolate Fudge Frenzy Ice Cream

 Here’s a decadent recipe for Chocolate Fudge Frenzy Ice Cream. It has a smooth chocolate base swirled with gooey fudge.




Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Ice Cream Base:

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • 1 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)

  • 4 large egg yolks

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)

  • Pinch of salt

For the Fudge Swirl:

  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk

  • ¼ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Step 1: Make the Fudge Swirl

  1. Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. Add the Ingredients: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and heavy cream. Add a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

  3. Cook for a Few Minutes: Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the fudge sauce to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. Cool and Set Aside: Let the fudge swirl cool at room temperature while you prepare the ice cream base.

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Ice Cream Base

  1. Heat the Cream and Milk: In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and ½ cup of the sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot (do not boil).

  2. Mix the Cocoa Powder and Chocolate: In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder with the remaining ¼ cup of sugar to avoid clumping. Slowly add this to the hot cream mixture, then stir in the chopped chocolate until melted and smooth.

  3. Whisk the Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth and slightly thickened.

  4. Temper the Eggs: Whisk the egg yolks while slowly adding a bit of the hot chocolate mixture. Gradually add more until about half of the chocolate is mixed into the yolks.

  5. Cook the Custard: Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

  6. Add Vanilla and Cool: Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla. Let the custard cool to room temperature.

Step 3: Chill and Churn

  1. Chill the Mixture: Cover the custard. Refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully chilled.

  2. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled chocolate custard into your ice cream maker. Churn it for 20-30 minutes, per the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 4: Add the Fudge Swirl

  1. Layer the Ice Cream: Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, stop churning. In an airtight container, spoon in a layer of chocolate ice cream, then drizzle some fudge sauce over it. Repeat this process, swirling the fudge with a spoon for a marbled effect.

  2. Freeze: Place the ice cream in the freezer for 4-6 hours or until firm.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Scoop and Serve: Once the ice cream is firm, scoop out your Chocolate Fudge Frenzy Ice Cream. Enjoy its rich, indulgent mix of creamy chocolate and thick fudge swirls!

This ice cream is perfect for chocolate lovers. It is a rich, chocolatey dessert.
