• Ready In: 2hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 3 cups whole milk
• 2⁄3 cup sugar
• 3⁄4 cup premium unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons cornstarch

directions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of the milk to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1 cup milk with the sugar, cocoa and cornstarch in a bowl.
3. Scrape the cocoa mixture into the hot milk. Cook stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and bubbles a little at the edges. Boil gently, stirring, for 2 minutes longer.
4. Scrape into a bowl and let cool.
5. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap (when cool) placed directly against the surface and chill overnight.
6. Freeze according to the instructions for your ice cream maker. Because the mixture is slightly thick to begin with, it may take less time than usual to freeze and thicken to the desired consistency.

Well, this was a great recipe! I had to try it with my new Soft Serve Ice Cream maker, and it was oh so yummy! My modification- added 1 egg and tempered it. Instead of 3 cups of milk, it was 2 cups Milk 1 Cup Cream, 1/2 Teaspon of Instant Coffee (to bring out chocolate flavor) and big pinch of salt . I JUST finished eating the leftovers of this, and wow, it tastes like the popular brand from the store! This takes well to 'mix ins' . Soft, Scoopable, Just enough Chocolate, but rich...this is a keeper and will be making this again:)

This recipe is fantastic. It tastes exactly like the fondant gelato I had in Rome. If you feel it is too rich try cutting back on the cocoa. Although personally "Too rich, there is no such thing!"

Divine! I didn't know I could make a dessert that could taste so good, or even whether something SHOULD be tasting as good as this. Thanks for the recipe!!

Hubby enjoyed this, the rest of us didn't because it was soooo rich. I'd probably cut back the cocoa by half if I made it again. I made 12 small individual desserts, ready to be topped with a dollop of white cream and berries. Definitely a good cheap recipe for those into rich chocolate desserts! And easy to make too.

This was so good! Very silky and rich. It even looked beautiful while I was stirring it on the stove. Just because it was all I had, I used light vanilla soy milk and the Hershey's Special Dark unsweetened cocoa. Thanks for a great recipe.
