Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream

Makes about 5 cups (ten ½-cup servings)

Chewy chocolate brownie pieces are mixed in to rich chocolate ice cream to create this decadent sweet treat.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup cocoa powder, sifted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup crumbled brownies, chilled

Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa, sugars, and salt. Add the milk and, using a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk, beat to combine until the cocoa, sugars, and salt are dissolved.
  2. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or overnight.
  3. Turn on the Cuisinart® ice cream maker. Whisk the ice cream base, and then pour the mixture into the freezer bowl through the ingredient funnel. Churn until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. At the end of churning time, add the brownie pieces through the ingredient funnel and churn for about 1 minute.
  4. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. For a firmer consistency, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from the freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
