Rich, smooth and simple to make, this to-die-for ice cream from award making gelato makers, Oddono's, is what your freezer has been dreaming of

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 500ml fresh whole milk
  • 280ml fresh whipping cream
  • 150g sugar
  • 45g cacao powder (24 per cent cocoa)
  • 25g 70 per cent chocolate couverture (min 70 per cent cocoa)

Method: How to make Oddono's chocolate ice cream

1. Pour the milk and cream into a pan over a gentle heat.

2. When the milk and cream are warm, add the sugar and stir until all the grains have dissolved.

3. When the mixture reaches 40 degrees add the cocoa powder and whisk until all the chocolate has melted.

4. Increase the temperature so the base is just below boiling point, about 85°C on a cooking thermometer, this pasteurises the ingredients.

Tip:

If you have time, leave the ice cream base to chill overnight. It will take less time to churn in the machine and the flavours will have infused deliciously.

5. Transfer the chocolate base to an ice cream machine and turn it on. Check the manufacturer's instructions for how long it will take to make the ice cream and whether you will need to pre-chill the bowl.

6. If you don't have an ice cream machine, place the base into the freezer for an hour, take it out and stir it well, then place back into the freezer to freeze again. Repeat the process 4 or 5 times until the ice cream is ready.

7. Transfer the ice cream into freeze proof containers or eat straight away.

  1. This recipe for chocolate ice cream sounds delicious, but needs some clarification. a) I assume 'chocolate couverture' is a chef's terms for a bar of solid dark chocolate. b) The instructions do not say when to add the chocolate. Presumably it is at the same time as the cocoa - and it would melt more quickly if grated or broken up. c) The mixture definitely needs to be cooled in the fridge before putting in an ice cream maker or the freezer. d) Unless making with unpasteurised milk or cream, why is it necessary to heat the mixture to just below boiling point? I have made strawberry ice cream sucessfully withut heating the cream.
