PJ-
This looks amazing. I make a chocolate ice cream with melted chocolate, dark chocolate powder, heavy whipping cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla and whole milk. It is our absolute favorite (especially since we use KAF's black chocolate powder!). I also make a version where I mix in some of KAF's malt powder right before freezing in my ice cream machines (yes that is machines, I have two which comes in handy with 5 kids!).
However, this recipe looks wonderful! As soon as my dark chocolate malt is finished in the ice cream makers today and safely tucked away in the freezer, I will be making this! So now I have yet another project for tomorrow!
Just a few questions. First, if I use dark chocolate chips, will that change the consistancy because of the stabilizers in the chips? Also, Could I use half and half instead of the whole milk? I have some in the fridge that I need to use up!
Thanks PJ for all your great work! Today I am making your homemade hamburger buns and New England hot dog buns (since those are the absolute best!).
Anne, TWO ice cream machines - you go, girl! It's great to have one bucket in the freezer, ready to go, while the other's in use, isn't it? Chocolate chips should be just fine; once they melt and go into the mixture with everything else, they won't clump up. And half and half would be absolutely over-the-top deluxe - I say go for it, and Happy Memorial Day! :) PJH
