Ingredients

Method

• 15 free-range egg yolks
• 350 g caster sugar
• 1 T vanilla extract
• 6 cups cream
• 1½ cups milk
• 450 g 70% dark chocolate, chopped

Method

Ingredients

1. Beat the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until pale. This aerates the eggs and makes for a lighter, fluffier ice cream.

2. Mix the egg-yolk mixture with the cream and milk, then pour into a saucepan and cook over a low to medium heat until thick. Alternatively, cook in a double-boiler.

3. Add the chocolate, allow to melt and stir in. Allow the mixture to cool, then churn in an ice-cream machine until ready to serve.

Cook’s tip: I like to use Woolworths’ long-life cream.
