French Chocolate Ice Cream

"This makes a very rich and creamy chocolate ice cream. Be sure for best flavor, to use a premium, high quality chocolate. If you do not like the bitter taste of the chocolate, be sure to add extra sugar (you can add up to 1 full cup). The Cook Time reflects freezing. Note: To make Belgian chocolate ice cream, stir in 1/4 cup rum or 1 tsp rum extract and 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts. To make Mandarin Chocolate ice cream, add 1 TBS grated orange rind and 1/2 tsp orange extract or 2 TBS orange liqueur."

  1. This is rich, creamy and smooth. It is the best recipe ever! Try it and I'm sure you will agree. And why? Because YOU made it
     
  2. Excellent and easy to prepare. Even though there are only 2 ounces of chocolate, the ice cream is very, very chocolaty. I took Bev's suggestion and added an additional 1/4 c. sugar to get a sweeter chocolate ice cream. This ice cream is so good.
     
  3. si far I have not been impressed with my ice cream maker...up until now that is ! this ice cream is delish ! Tastes as good as hagen daz...my only complaint was that there wasn't enough...it only made 1 quart when I probably should have doubled for a family of 6....
