Chocolate Ice with Fudge (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 4 large egg yolks
02 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
03 - ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
04 - ¾ cup white sugar
05 - 1 cup full-fat milk
06 - 2 cups whipping cream

→ Extras and Toppings

07 - ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
08 - ½ cup chocolate sauce (like fudge)
09 - ½ cup chopped nuts (pecans, almonds, or walnuts)

# Instructions:

01 - Use medium heat to warm the cream, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a pot. Stir until blended smoothly and heat just until it starts to steam—don’t let it boil.
02 - In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks well. Slowly add a little of the warm mix to the yolks while whisking constantly so nothing scrambles.
03 - Pour the egg mix back into the pot gradually. Stir nonstop while heating it gently until it thickens enough to coat a spoon. Take it off the heat and add the vanilla.
04 - Pour the liquid through a strainer to catch any bits, then leave it out until it’s room temp. Cover it up and keep it in the fridge for at least 4-5 hours or overnight.
05 - Put the mixture into your churner and run it following the steps for your machine.
06 - During the last couple of minutes in the machine, toss in the mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Spin until they’re nice and spread out.
07 - Scoop the ice cream into a sealed container, drizzle the fudge sauce on top, and swirl lightly. Freeze solid for at least 2 more hours before scooping.
