dark chocolate #2

  • 5 1/2 oz. Dagoba New Moon chocolate (74%)
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 c. half and half
  • 1 c. heavy cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt

  1. melt chocolate in double boiler
  2. stir in 1 cup of the half and half and heat slowly till combined
  3. when combined, add rest of half and half
  4. in separate bowl, whisk egg and sugar till combined
  5. drizzle chocolate mixture into egg/sugar slowly while whisking
  6. pour in cream
  7. add vanilla
  8. chill overnight
  9. freeze according to ice maker instructions
RESULTS:
The best! Decreasing the amount of liquid from 4 c. to 3 made freezing go much better. Flavor is perfect. Texture is creamy. Could consider adding some espresso powder to bump up the bitterness.
