Magic Chocolate Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Combine coffee or espresso powder and hot water in a small bowl.
• Let stand until coffee dissolves, about 5 minutes.
• Microwave chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and coffee mixture in a bowl, stirring every 10 seconds, until chocolate is melted (about 1 minute).
• Stir in vanilla and salt. Let cool.
• With electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream to soft peaks, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk 1/3 of whipped cream into chocolate mixture.
• Fold remaining whipped cream into chocolate mixture until incorporated.
• Freeze in airtight container until firm, or at least 6 hours or up to 2 weeks. Serve.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Remove the lid from ice cream container. Working quickly, cut the container off the ice cream and turn ice cream on its side on a work surface. Insert craft sticks into the side of the ice cream, evenly spacing them. Cut the ice cream between the sticks, creating 3 bars.
• Arrange ice cream bars in the prepared baking sheet; freeze until completely solid, 8 hours to overnight.
• Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave in 30-second intervals, mixing well each time, until chocolate hard shell mixture is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Hold 1 ice cream bar over a separate measuring cup and pour chocolate hard shell mixture over bar to cover completely. Let chocolate dry for a few seconds and pour chocolate hard shell mixture over bar again, creating a thick shell. Place bar back in the waxed paper. Repeat with remaining bars and chocolate hard shell mixture.
• Freeze bars until set, at least 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the gelatin, sugar and boiling water in a large heatproof bowl; whisk until the sugar and gelatin are dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the milk and whisk to combine. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until completely cold and the gelatin just starts to set, about 1 hour. (It should not be completely set and firm so you can easily and thoroughly fold in the cream mixture).
• Whip the heavy cream and the vanilla with a handheld mixer in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Remove the chilled gelatin mixture from the refrigerator and fold in half of the whipped cream. Add the remaining whipped cream and fold until fully incorporated. Pour into a 2-quart storage container or an 8-by-8-inch baking pan. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. Scoop and serve.

Steps:

• Combine coffee (or espresso) powder and hot water in small bowl. Let stand until coffee dissolves, about 5 minutes. Microwave chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and coffee mixture in bowl, stirring every 10 seconds, until chocolate is melted, about 1 minute. Stir in vanilla and salt. Let cool.
• With electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream to soft peaks, about 2 minutes. Whisk one-third of whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Fold remaining whipped cream into chocolate mixture until incorporated.
