DD requested chocolate, Choc chip Icecream, and I haven't been 100% happy with any of the choc Icecream recipes that I've made until now. I made it yesterday and it was really creamy and delicious when I tested a spoonful (or two) last night. I tested it again tonight just to be sure ;), and it was still soft and easy to scoop. 10/10!

This is my favourite chocolate icecream, but sometimes I have trouble getting all of the chocolate incorporated smoothly. I have played around with the method a few times, and think that I've finally cracked it :)
I used the same method as my ganache. I put the chocolate into the bowl and blitzed it into crumbs. I then added the condensed milk and whizzed it together with the chocolate. I scalded the cream on the stovetop and then poured it onto the choc/condensed milk mixture though the lid with the blades turning. I cooled the mixture in the fridge overnight, and then churned the icecream in my icecream machine. I now have the most delicious, smooth and creamy rich chocolate icecream.

I was just writing this out Sue and I realised you've heated milk and not cream as the recipe states, is that right?

Oops! Thanks Judy.
I've corrected my error - it was the cream that I heated :o ;D

I love it when we get improved amendments. Thanks ES.

I've made this today using Sue's version but I did use evaporated light milk instead of cream to reduce calories.  I thought what the heck, I'll try it with milk.  It's in the freezer to harden up more now but the taste test straight from the ice-cream machine was very promising.  I used half dark Lindt and half Cadburys milk chocolate. Will report back when it's fully set.

Reporting back on this ice-cream using light evaporated milk instead of cream and following ES's directions.  Absolutely beautiful, scoopable and delicious without being too rich.  Thanks Sue, I love it.

I made this again today and further modified my method. This time I only heated 400 ml of the cream and poured it through the hole in the lid onto the ground choc/condensed milk with the blades running. Once it was incorporated, I scraped down the sides, set the blades running again on speed3/4 and poured the remaining 200 ml of cold cream in until fully mixed. This meant that the mixture was cool enough to churn immediately in my icecream machine.

DD, SIL and 2 gks almost ate all of the batch I made yesterday after we'd been out to dinner tonight.  They loved it as much as I do.
