Chocolate Salted Almond Ice Cream

chocolate and salted almond ice cream

I’ve been on a mission to utilize my ice cream maker as much as physically possible before summer’s end. Most recently, I whipped up this chocolate salted almond ice cream and you guys? You need it in your life. Made with whole milk in lieu of cream, it’s slightly less sinful than it’s more indulgent counterparts, but none less delicious. The roasted, salted almonds play nice alongside a rich and creamy chocolate base, and the results are well worth every last calorie.

Ingredients
  1. 3 1/2 cups whole milk
  2. 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  3. 4 large egg yolks
  4. 3 Tbsp. good quality unsweetened cocoa powder
  5. 5 oz. good quality semisweet chocolate (I used Baker's)
  6. 1 tsp.vanilla extract
  7. 1/2-3/4 cup roasted, salted almonds, chopped (adjust to your liking)
Instructions
  1. Pour milk and sugar into a large saucepan and bring it just to a simmer.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Once the milk is almost boiling, pour it very slowly into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly as you do.
  3. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook on low, simmering (but not boiling) until custard thickens (8-10 minutes).
  4. Pour cocoa powder into separate bowl, remove 1/2 cup of the mixture and add it to the cocoa powder, whisking until smooth. Pour it back into the saucepan, add the vanilla, and stir to combine.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely, 1-2 hours.
  6. Once cool, freeze the chocolate custard in your ice cream maker according to your manufactureres instructions. When it's almost complete, toss in the roasted almonds. Place in an air tight container, and freeze for another 2-3 hours before serving.
