Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Ice Cream
Chocolate ice cream is hard to beat, this creamy sweet treat is well honestly, amazing. This is a simple chocolate ice cream recipe that anyone can make. This recipe is for a machine, as when you make the base of this ice cream it still needs to be frozen. Ice cream makers whip air into the ice cream making it lighter. You can do this as a no churn recipe by simply pouring the ice cream into a container and putting into your freezer for many hours for it to freeze solid.
This ice cream recipe isn’t based on a custard so it is easy to put together, you don’t need to cook this mixture before freezing. Some recipes you need to cook the base, then freeze it. This one you don’t so it makes it a lot easier.
If you have concerns about raw eggs you should purchase eggs that are pasteurized, these eggs are safe to consume raw.

April 7, 2012 at 5:18 pm‘Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker”? I thought it already was ice cream at this point, why couldn’t you just put it in a bowl or whatever and freeze it?
Buying an ice cream maker makes this not very interesting.

April 10, 2012 at 1:27 amTo get the ice cream to set up, you need to put it into an ice cream maker, you need to whip air into it. If you don’t I guess you could freeze the sweetened milk mixture but you will end up something that is hard as a rock.
