Homemade Chocolate Ice-Cream with Chocolate Chips

This is my first attempt at making ice-cream using an ice-cream maker. So, I was thinking of making a simple one. I modified a recipe for matcha ice-cream that I found online and turned it into chocolate ice-cream with some chocolate chips.


Hubby said the ice-cream is very nice and he seems like enjoying it much to my delight.

The followings is the recipe that I used:

Ingredients:

250ml whipping cream
250ml full cream milk
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp sugar (I processed it into powdered form)
3 tbsp cocoa powder
200g chocolate chips

Method:

Prepare the freezer bowl and put it into the freezer at least 8 hours in advance. Pour the whipping cream, milk and sugar into a food processor and process it for a few minutes. Then dissolve the cocoa powder with some hot water and pour it into the mixture and process it again till all ingredients are properly mixed. Once done, transfer the mixture into the fridge for 1 to 2 hours. Once eveyrthing is ready, take out the freezer bowl from the freezer and churn the mixture according to the ice-cream maker manufacturer's instruction. Add the chocolate chips into the mixture towards the end of the churning (roughly 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the cycle). Normally, ice-cream produced with ice-cream maker at home tend to be softer than the store-bought one. If you prefer more hardened ice-cream, transfer it into a container and put it into the freezer for a few hours before serving.
