Default Extra Creamy Extra Dark Chocolate Ice Cream :eek:

I *love* dark chocolate. This is really, really rich...

Ice Cream, Dark Chocolate

Recipe By : Judi, Island Girl (mods to Somers' recipe)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts, Frozen - Ingredients -- Veggie Ovo-Lacto

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 ounces baking chocolate, unsweetened -- squares
2 whole large egg yolks
1 whole large egg
3 tablespoons vanilla extract -- * See Directions
2 1/2 cups Whipping Cream 35%
4 teaspoons sweetener, OptiSweet -- * See Notes
OR
2 teaspoons Sweetener, Liquid
1 cup Whipping Cream 35%

Put the chocolate into a heatproof medium mixing bowl and put in the microwave on very low power for 2-4 minutes, to soften. Put aside.

In another heatproof medium bowl, whisk or Beat the egg yolks, whole egg and vanilla (use a good quality pure vanilla) until pale yellow and foamy, about 3-4 minutes.

Warm the cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat to 110 degrees or until bubbles form along the edge, just before boiling. Slowly pour hot cream into the egg yolks, stirring constantly, tempering. Return the mixture to the saucepan (still over medium heat) and stir until the custard thickens or it coats the back of a spoon, then stir in the sweetener and pour the hot mixture over the chocolate, stirring until smoothly blended.

Pour into a bowl and place a piece of waxed paper over the top (right on top of the custard); cool til room temperature, then chill for 2-3 hours. When thoroughy chilled, stir in (thoroughly) the last cup of whipping cream and then pour into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's directions.

NOTES : Makes 4 Cups (packs a marked 4-Cup container); a full "pint".

OptiSweet is a dense fructose (kiwi extract) sweetener available here in Canada, intensely sweet; 1/5 Tsp serving is <1g carb (t.f. probably 0.9). I believe it is essentially the same as the SomerSweet product.

Whole Recipe: 3863 kCals, 386g fat 87%, 89/17.5 g carb/fiber 9%, 40.6g protein 4%.
