Does anyone have Cook's Illustrated's "Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream" or any chocolate ice cream

Well-known member
from Cook's Illustrated? I'm very happy with the Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream I've been using, but I'm always on the lookout for new recipes, and I've heard CI has a great one. Thanks.

 
This is only one on their site Meryl--REC: Chocolate Ice Cream...

Chocolate Ice Cream

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar (5 1/4 ounces)
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of almost-simmering water, melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, position a strainer over a medium bowl set in a larger bowl containing ice water. Heat the milk, cream, and 1/2 cup of the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar, until steam appears and the milk is warm (about 175 degrees), about 5 minutes. While the milk is heating, beat the yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl until combined and pale yellow. Add the melted chocolate and beat until fully incorporated.

Whisk half the warm milk mixture into the beaten yolks, 1/2 cup at a time, until combined. Whisk the milk-yolk mixture into the warm milk in the saucepan; set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until steam appears, foam subsides, and the mixture is slightly thickened or an instant-read thermometer registers 180 to 185 degrees. (Do not boil the mixture, or the eggs will curdle.) Immediately strain the custard into the bowl set in the ice bath; cool the custard to room temperature, stirring it occasionally to help it cool. Stir in the vanilla, then cover and refrigerate until an instant-read thermometer registers 40 degrees or lower, at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours.

Pour the custard into the ice cream machine canister and churn, following the manufacturer's instructions, until the mixture resembles soft-serve ice cream. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container, press plastic wrap flush against the surface, cover the container, and freeze the ice cream until firm, at least 2 hours. (The ice cream will keep for up to 2 days.)

Meryl, I was going through some of my old "Good Food" magazines...>

last night and came across the following ice cream recipes by Deirdre Davis.

Chocolate-Cinnamon-Orange Ice Cream

Old-Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream

Plum Allspice Ice Cream

Butter-Scotch Praline Ice Cream

If you would like any of these just shout.

The recipes are from Good Food July 1987.

 
Yowza! Now you're talking! Thanks for posting Charlie. I'll definitely be giving this a try.

 
Thanks, everyone! I just got my new ice cream maker, so I'm in business! I made the Chocolate

Ganache Ice Cream last night, and it came out great! Will have to try the Cook's Illustrated one(s).

 
Kewl! This is one of my recipes and an all-time fav . . .

The bourbon REALLY compliments the chocolate and the overall impact is an intensely flavored, velvety chocolate ice cream. Check it out. I like it alot.
