Small-Batch Chocolate Ice Cream

A nice, simple, creamy chocolate ice cream, just right on its own or perfect to swirl with another flavour.

• 1/4 C + 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/4 C sugar
• 2 Tbsp + 2 tsp packed dark brown sugar
• pinch salt
• 1/2 C whole milk
• 1 C heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla

1.  In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa, sugar, and salt.  Add the milk and whisk to combine until the cocoa, sugars, and salt are dissolved.  Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla.  Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
2.  Process mixture in ice cream maker until soft, creamy texture is achieved.

Robyn's notes: I don't often pick up chocolate ice cream, because I find it too one-note.  This, however, I quite enjoyed, and since it's a small batch, I didn't have time to get tired of it.  Use this recipe with the recipe for Peanut Butter Ice Cream to make a great swirl.

*** 3 Stars: Good. At least one of us liked this enough for me to make it again, but not often
