Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream- A creamy, chocolaty, ice cream....goodness in a bowl!
Summer is winding down and it seems to be doing so very quickly. I love fall and winter but I don't want to wish time away. So, I am trying to soak up every drop of summer. I am trying really hard to not baking anything with pumpkins, apples, an abundance of cinnamon/nutmeg/clove, or butternut squash. It is very hard since those are all some of my favorite things. However, soon enough my fall loving' heart, it will be time.
In the mean time, I've made ice cream. I'm glad too because not only is this homemade chocolate ice cream insanely delicious but it is also suppose to warm back up this week and when it does I am going to be so happy to have a bowl of this chocolaty goodness!!
Homemade ice cream is so easy to make. Especially, with this KitchenAid KAICA Ice Cream Maker Attachment - Fits all models. I don't have to use ice cream salt and my mixer does all the "cranking." Easy!
For us, ice cream is a year around treat and I like to make seasonal types of homemade ice cream. Last Christmas I made this ice cream.
This particular chocolate ice cream does require you to temper the eggs. Don't be intimidated by it. It is very easy and I even run my mixture through a sieve before I refrigerate it. It helps to create a smooth, and creamy ice cream.
