Ben & Jerry's has been making ice cream history since 1978. They are well known for famous flavors like Cherry Garcia and Chunky Monkey. This recipe duplicates their rich and creamy chocolate ice cream (which is the number one flavor of ice cream in America). Feel free to stir in add-ins like nuts, fruits, or candies as desired.

ingredients
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Place the chocolate in a heavy saucepan over very low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
Place the eggs in a bowl and whisk until light and fluffy. Add the sugar, a little at a time, while whisking. Add the cream, vanilla, and salt and whisk to blend completely.
Mix the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and blend well.
Place the ice cream batter in a covered container and refrigerate for 1-3 hours or until well chilled.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream machine and process as per the machine manufacturer's instructions. Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer.

Guest Foodie REVIEW:
July 5, 2013I didn't understand some of the confusion over the recipe unless it's been changed since those reviews were written. It worked great for me and turned out delicious! I added some grated chocolate to the ice cream maker just before it was done churning so it had chocolate flakes in it. Very good recipe and I would say pretty close to Ben & Jerry's

Eevening. Can someone please explain the term 'unsweetened chocolate' for a reader from England. Ove here we have 'drinking chocolate powder' which is sweet or 'cocoa powder' which is unseweetened or bars of chocolate which all contain sugar. What should I be using?Any help with a translation would be appreciated.Thanks.

Cookiemonster REVIEW:
July 20, 2009Better than most store bought brands. Excellent chocolate-y taste! Melt the chocolate in a saucepan with the milk in the first step (be patient and keep whisking, it will melt smoothly eventually). I like to cook the eggs, so I added the cream mixture to the saucepan with the chocolate and milk and whisked and cooked the mixture to make sure the eggs were heated enough. Then refrigerated for 3 hours. Then put in the ice cream maker and an hour later enjoyed excellent choco ice cream, yummmy!

This is written very oddly and doesn't work as posted, so I fixed it below. Also agree with poster who suggested double boiler (you can fake this with an elevated small saucepan inside a larger saucepan in which you heat the water. Finally, I added a pinch of instant coffee, which enhances the chocolate flavor without adding more sweetness.

TWA REVIEW:
July 19, 2007I agree that the instructions are a little screwy. I just moved the first instruction to after the third (...and salt and whisk to blend). Makes more sense, the eggs get cooked a little, and the result is fantastic!Also, melt the chocolate in a double boiler and then add.

May 6, 2007Yum! The missing "melt the chocolate" part of the recipe aside, this recipe was fairly simple. The result was super delicious!

patty REVIEW:
July 5, 2006This recipe has a few problems--instructions do not include when to melt the chocolate. I assumed it was done first, then mixed in with the milk at beginning--these two did not mix well, but I finally got it. Also,the eggs are not cooked at all--I found that unsafe. I ended up cooking the eggs, sugar & cream mixture over low heat for about 7 minutes. It took longer to cool off, so give yourself extra time. End result was very yummy!
