Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 c half and half
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c baking cocoa
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c heavy cream

Steps:

1. Combine half-and-half, sugar, cocoa and vanilla in a blender; process on low until smooth. Stir in heavy cream. Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to manufacturer's directions. Yield: 1-1/2 quarts.

Tips:

For a richer, creamier ice cream, use heavy cream instead of milk.
Add your favorite mix-ins after the ice cream has churned for about 20 minutes. This will prevent them from freezing solid.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make ice cream by using the freezer method. Simply freeze the ice cream mixture in a covered container for 4-6 hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so to break up the ice crystals.
For a softer ice cream, serve it immediately after churning. For a harder ice cream, freeze it for at least 4 hours before serving.
Store leftover ice cream in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Making ice cream at home is a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious, refreshing treat. With just a few simple ingredients and an ice cream maker, you can create your own custom flavors and combinations. So next time you're craving something sweet, give homemade ice cream a try!
