HOT CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM RECIPES

Steps:

• Add the heavy cream and cocoa powder to a medium saucepan and whisk until the cocoa is fully incorporated. Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
• Whisk together the stevia, vanilla, salt and egg yolks in a large bowl until lightened in color, about 1 minute. Slowly drizzle in 1 cup of the hot cream mixture, whisking, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring continuously with a rubber spatula, until the mixture thickens, coats the back of a spoon and reaches 180 degrees F on a thermometer, about 6 minutes.  
• Transfer the custard to a large bowl and stir continuously until the mixture cools to room temperature. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill until cold, about 3 hours. (For faster chilling, set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and stir until cold.) 
• Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a freezer-safe resealable container and freeze until set, at least 1 hour.
