Ice Cream

So everybody loves ice cream, yeah. Store bought ice cream is good and all, but sometimes you just want to make it yourself. The only way to do it previously was to use an ice cream machine. However in the foodday section this week there was a recipe for EZ ice cream.

EZ Chocolate ice cream
Makes 1 quart

1 tsp instant coffee
1 tablespoon hot water
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
1/2 cups sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch Salt
1 1/4 cups cold whipping cream

Combine coffee powder and hot water in a small bowl. Let stand until coffee dissolves, about 5 minutes. Microwave chocolate, 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 mixture on medium-high speed, whip cream to soft peaks, about 2 minutes. Whisk a third of whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Fold remaining whipped cream into chocolate mixture until incorporated. Freeze in an airtight container, until firm, at least 6 hours or up to 2 weeks.
