The ice cream was very good but we didn't care for the grittiness of the chocolate chips. We feel it would have been better had they been left whole. Thank you JKINFLA for sharing a very good recipe!

Very good. We didn't have heavy cream, so we substituted with milk/butter. Came out great!

Creamy, rich, delicious...I could continue gushing with one adjective after another to describe this fabulous ice cream; I can certainly understand why the word velvet is in the name. I shaved good quality dark chocolate into the mix instead of chocolate chips. My family is pretty fond of the chocolate ice cream I have been making for years, but I think that this one may have gone to the top of our list!

This was the first time I tried to make chocolate ice cream....and it came out great!!! Tasted very expensive and rich...I substituted just 1/3 cup of cream for milk for a bit less greasiness, and added 1 tsp. vanilla and a pinch of salt. Used 2 bars of Hershey's Special Dark chopped up and put into ice cream maker last few mins. of churning. Was very chocolatey and will make again!!! Thank you!!!

I omitted the extra chunks/shaves of chocolate for personal preference and added about 1/2 tsp of salt. WONDERFUL! Really super yummy! My 3 1/3 year old godson was beyond amazed at the yummy ice cream we made together!!!

This is the best ice cream ever. It is better than any specialty ice cream shop. The recipe is perfect as is.

This is very good ice cream. I haven't used another chocolate ice cream recipe since. I'm going to make it into rocky road ice cream next time. :))

I got on a homemade Ice cream kick today and whipped up a couple.. LOL This one was really good. It was more like a dark choc flavor. Next time might try milk choc.. But other than that it was awesome

I loved the airy, marshmallowy texture of this quick ice cream. I felt better about using a pasteurized egg product, as another reviewer suggested, rather than use raw eggs. It wasn't quite chocolaty enough for me! I will add more cocoa next time. My husband loved it as is though.
