CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW ICE CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Chill the ice cream bowl for at least 24 hours or until solid. You should not hear any water sloshing around when you shake the bowl.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until smooth and pale yellow in color.
• Add the milk, cocoa powder, and salt to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and then remove from the heat. Be sure not to boil.
• Add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk to the egg and sugar mixture and whisk constantly until combined.
• Then, add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk.
• Heat the saucepan on low. Stirring constantly, heat until the base has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon or spatula. This should take a few minutes.
• Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove any pieces of egg that may have cooked.
• Add ½ cup of the chopped chocolate, reserving the rest for later. Stir until melted.
• Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap making sure to have the plastic wrap touching the surface of the ice cream base. This will help keep it from forming a skin while chilling. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• Churn the ice cream mixture in the bowl of your ice cream machine according to your manufacturer’s instructions (mine took about 20 minutes), until it is thick and the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.
• In the last two minutes, add the remaining chopped chocolate and churn until evenly distributed.
• Melt the marshmallow fluff in the microwave in 10 second increments, until it is liquid and easier to pour. It should only take about 20-30 seconds. Be sure not to overcook as it will burn.
• Spoon half the chocolate ice cream into a shallow container or a loaf pan. Dollop half of the marshmallow fluff on top of the chocolate and use a knife or skewer to lightly swirl it into the ice cream. Repeat with remaining ice cream and marshmallow fluff.
• Press plastic wrap or wax paper to the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, until smooth, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Stuff 1 marshmallow into each ice cream cone; dip each stuffed cone into the melted chocolate. Roll the dipped cones in sprinkles. Place each coated cone in the cup of a mini muffin tin. Carefully place in freezer until chocolate hardens, about 10 minutes.
