Excellent chocolate recipe. I was looking for one more "child oriented" as the chocate taste on this one was very rich and luscious. Excellent for a dinner party for adults. I am keeping this one for me!

This recipe is for True Chocolate Lovers Only! Intense flavor and creamy deliciousness! I began this recipe using Unsweetened Baker's squares and melting it in the top of a double boiler. From there followed the step exactly as directed by the posting chef. There isn't a thing I would change about this recipe except perhaps to make more! This recipe makes 1 quart....and believe me, it won't last long : ) Thank you for sharing this recipe with us on Zaar!

Why do Some People Not Follow Simple Directions & their's turn out not so Good due to Their Own Fault yet give Bad Ratings to others?? Don't listen to them. They Messed up! This is Great when you Follow Directions! I Loved this! We have a Soft-Serve Machine so, it's Awesome & Soft like DQ when Fresh then Still Awesome after it's Frozen & Stored although, I have a Problem with letting it get to that stage as my Bowl/Cones fill up Direct from spout. There's Lots of ways to make Ice Cream to each their own. Same w/Reviews & Ratings. Consumers & Product Makers All use & Rely on FAIR Ratings/Reviews for helping Future Purchases & Products. So, Don't ever listen to a Bad Review/Rating when the Reviewer even Admits they did NOT Follow Directions... That's Simply UNFAIR to ALL. I Did make this Fat-Free & mostly Sugar Free & Still AWESOME! Used Egg Substitute, Fat-Free Half & Half, and 0 Calorie Sweetener.

for some reason my ice cream turned out grainy - i think it might be because i melted the chocolate first and whisked in the milk - even though it didn't turn out like i expected - i will certainly try again very soon!
