Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup melted dark chocolate or chocolate chips
- Fresh fruit toppings (strawberries, blueberries)
- Crushed cookies or candies for texture
- Optional: edible gold leaf for a touch of extravagance
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 3/4 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- In a separate bowl, melt the dark chocolate or prepare chocolate chips for swirling.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate into the churned ice cream for a marbled effect, or layer it in a container for a more distinct chocolate flavor.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, layering with fresh fruit and crushed cookies for extra texture and flavor.
- Cover and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Optional: Decorate with edible gold leaf or additional toppings before serving for a touch of John Hammond’s splendor.
Notes
- For an extra decadent presentation, garnish with more fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, or edible gold leaf.
- Ensure to store in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Customize toppings to suit your preferences—try caramel swirls or crushed nuts for added texture.
