Tips and tricks for double chocolate ice cream recipe

Here are a few tips for making this ice cream perfectly at home.

For rich chocolate flavour, use good quality cocoa powder that you can afford for.  

To get perfect consistency whipped cream, use chilled bowl on ice cubes, chilled whipping attachments and refrigerated fresh cream.

Use only upper thick fresh cream, do not use thin watery cream.

Do not over whip the fresh cream, because you might end up making butter.

Do not over mix the chocolate mixture and whipped cream, this releases all the air from whipped cream.

Always close and freeze the ice cream otherwise ice crystals will be formed.

You can add any extra add ins like chocolate chunks or an extra spoon of chocolate chips.

How to make double chocolate ice cream?

Preparation

Freeze chill the whipping blades or attachments and whipping bowl overnight.

Also keep 6 to 8 ice cubes ready to be used during whipping process.

Refrigerate 25 % low fat fresh cream but do not freeze the cream.

If you are using tetra pack, then take only upper thick fresh cream. Make sure not to pour out the lower thin cream content.

Preparation of chocolate mixture

First step towards making this double chocolate ice cream is mixing condensed milk and cocoa powder.

Mix well without leaving any lumps in the mixture. Keep this aside until we whip the fresh cream.

Whipping fresh cream

Few important points to be kept in mind while whipping the fresh cream.

Here is a beginner’s guide to make whipped cream. Read it careful if you haven’t done whipping fresh cream before.

While whipping fresh cream, make sure to be quick. The entire process should be done in chilling condition.

Take a big bowl, add ice cubes at the bottom. Place the chilled bowl on the ice cubes.

Add chilled thick fresh cream to this bowl.

Using hand electric beater, start whipping at high-speed using chilled whipping blades. Whip the fresh cream for 5 minutes. Do not whip for long time, you will end up making butter instead of whipped cream.

Check the recipe video to know how exactly I have done it.

After 5 minutes, you get soft peak whipped cream. At this point stop whipping. Whipped cream is ready for ice cream base.

The whipped cream will increase in volume compared to fresh cream.

Preparing double chocolate ice cream

Add the chocolate chips to the whipped cream. Next add the chocolate mixture that is cocoa powder and condensed milk mixture.

Mix whipping cream and chocolate mixture gently. Do not be harsh on the mixture.

Over mixing will release all the air created in the whipping cream.

Gently fold the mixture into the whipping cream.

Pour this mixture into a container or keep as it in the same bowl.

Close with a foil tightly and freeze for 9 to 10 hours or overnight. Freeze until the ice cream is set.

Serving options

Before serving, you can keep the ice cream at room temperature for 1 to 2 minutes. This slightly softens the ice cream. Makes it easier to scoop out the ice cream.

Serve this tasty creamy double delight chocolate ice cream with toppings of choice like nuts, sprinkles, cherries, chocolate chips.

It can also be topped with hot chocolate sauce.

Substitutes

Thick low fat fresh cream – This can be substituted with heavy cream.

Condensed milk – This helps in adding to the texture of ice cream, so do not replace this.

Cocoa powder – Medium coloured cocoa powder can be replaced with desirable dark cocoa powder.

Chocolate chips – chocolate chips can be replaced with chocolate chunks.
