Chocolate Ice Cream


This is another recipe from my mom. I'm not for sure where she got it but I think she may have gotten it from Food Network. I believe it's an Emeril Lagasse recipe, but I'm not for sure. I do know for sure it is very good and one we make all the time. This is a no cook, no egg recipe that you can whip up quickly. So, there is no need to plan ahead to allow for cooking and cooling times. Just mix and pour into your ice cream maker.

Ingredients:

2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups chocolate milk
1 1/2 cups chocolate syrup
2 cans evaporated milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup bittersweet chocolate shavings, chopped fine(optional) - ( I just use mini chocolate chips)
**1 - 2 teaspoons Danncy Vanilla(optional - this is not in the original recipe, I add this)

Combine whipping cream, chocolate milk, chocolate syrup, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla (if using)in a large bowl. Mix well. Chill for 4 to 6 hours - I have never done this and it always turns out great. Pour into ice cream maker. Follow your ice cream maker's directions. When ice cream begins to set, add shavings, if desired - I have never done this either. I just mix my mini chocolate chips right in at the beginning.

**Danncy Vanilla is a Mexican vanilla that is wonderful. It's the only vanilla I use. The only problem with it is that it has to be ordered off the internet as it is not available in stores, at least not in my area. I usually purchase it off E-bay. It's pricey, but so worth it. It lasts a long time as you usually get a 33.8 oz. bottle.
