Ingredients for chocolate ice cream without condensed milk
Condensed milk is not an essential ingredient to make chocolate ice cream. In fact, this ice cream can easily be made without this ingredient and it will not affect anything. The fact that condensed milk is added is to make the chocolate ice cream sweeter and creamier. But other ingredients can be used to substitute the condensed milk and make it equally creamy. These are the ingredients we need:
Preparation steps
Preparation of chocolate ice cream
-
Put the cream, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and honey in a metal bowl and whisk them on the stove over low heat.
-
Before the ingredients reach boiling point (before boiling), take it off the stove. You will chop the dark chocolate into pieces and add them to the previous mixture, stirring little by little. This is so that the ingredients will mix and the chocolate will melt.
-
When you make sure that all the mixture is well homogenized, let it stand for at least 5 minutes.
-
In another bowl we are going to beat the egg yolks with the sugar, preferably with a mixer, so that the process is not so cumbersome.
-
When you finish, then add the egg yolks with the sugar to the chocolate mixture of step 2. Then put everything back on the stove again, over low heat for about 7 minutes. The time is relative, the important thing is that it does not boil.
-
To know that it is ready, you can notice that the consistency of the mixture becomes much thicker, this will be the perfect point. Don't forget to remove the cinnamon sticks and vanilla pod when finished.
-
Finally, we are going to put it in the fridge (refrigerator, not freezer) for 12 hours, the best is overnight. Then take it out and stir it with some utensil and now you will put it in the freezer. You will leave it there for at least 5 or 6 hours, but every half hour or every hour you will have to take it out to stir it. This will prevent crystallization and will also increase the creaminess of the ice cream.

Notes

- Cinnamon, sugar and honey add a special touch to the flavor of the ice cream, but if you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, you can reduce the amount of these ingredients.
- For a more complex flavor, you can add other ingredients to the mix, such as coffee, nuts, white chocolate chips, etc.
- To improve the texture of the ice cream, it is important to stir it every so often while it is freezing to prevent it from crystallizing too much.
