Chocolate Icecream (egg free)

ROFl oh how we have missed you Spanner 

[faffa_70]

I haven't forgotten about the evaporated milk recipe either everyone, just trying to find it!! If you saw the amount of recipes that I have to look for you might be willing to wait until the New Year lol    oh and yes it is my intention one day to convert most of them

I made this recipe twice this weekend. Once with the dark chocolate - I found that the melted chocolate went a bit bitty when I added the cream and condensed milk - the blades weren't moving when I added it. Also I had to wizz it for longer than suggested as the chocolate seemed to take ages to mix into it. As a result the end product was like a whipped cream consistency. The second batch I did was white chocolate and it more smooth but slightly thicker. I added the cream and condensed milk through the hole as it was on speed 4 with the butterfly in and ended up with a much smoother icecream. It is really rich but yummo

Thanks for the recipe

I find it is a bit bitty if the chocolate isn't fully melted.  It always seems to take longer to melt chocolate than the instructions for melting chocolate advise.  Adding the cream and condensed milk while the blades are going is a top tip.

Spanner did some with white chocolate when we first had the thermomix......it was beyond whipped cream and almost like butter...so ghastly that I haven't been game to try a white chocolate version again but now upon your recommendation I shall.  The offspring ran from the freezer when they were offered the 'white' icecream.  Finally the chooks enjoyed it.

It is really rich......mmmmmmm.

yes i melted the white chocolate for longer than the dark choc .I thought it may not have been fully melted!
Thumbs up from DH for them

Spanner made the icecream at a demonstrators meeting the other week.  He almost did 'butter' again.  So I thought I should update the recipe instructions. 

Make sure the chocolate is fully melted.  Only whip for 20 seconds - it will be a softish whip.  Go a few more seconds at a time if you wish but it should not increase dramatically in volume....think that is about it.  Spanner shall fine tune anything I have left out or mis represented

Made another couple of batches of this one last night  I did a little experiment with the white chocolate one and blitzed some strawberries and stirred them by hand into the mix. Very yummy although the strawberry is a little icy, I am thinking you could probably blitz the strawberry so it is more of a couli and add a little alcohol and then swirl it into the mix.

Also I was thinking it would be cool to make a swirled dark choc and white choc combo

mmmmm love your variations Meagan.  The berry sounds very summer.....a little vodka with berry slush is my standard summer cure all for a harried mother at about 4.00pm  ....maybe now I need a mine and yours icecream division.

Like your style Containergirl. Will have to try that myself

[Thermomixer]

Yes, and doesn't leave that alcoholic smell on the breath like gin or whisky

The mixture is fantastic!  I think it would make a great "chocolate mousse".  It's in the freezer, and I've checked on it a few times.  Absolutely delicious.
