This is a very good and easy to make ice cream recipe. The finished product tastes like store-bought ice cream, except that it has a richer chocolate taste. I was short about 1/2 cup of cream, so I used whole milk instead. Altogether, this is a very good, rich, chocolatey ice cream. Thanks for sharing!

Very rich, but very delicious. I made this for a birthday dinner and all 10 of my guests were blown away.

This was absolutely amazing! Please, please make this. I am an ice cream freak, and it was the best ice cream I have ever eaten. I used half and half instead of whole milk because that's what I had. For the chocolate, I used Nestle's baking cocoa powder and Ghiradelli milk chocolate chips. I also love mint ice creams, so I added 3 drops (it is very strong, so don't do more than that!) of peppermint OIL. All I can say is wow, wow, wow! You cannot get this at a store. For the second batch, I added crushed Oreos, and it tasted EXACTLY like a DQ Girl Scout cookie Thin Mint Blizzard.

Great recipe -in the words of my brother who knew home made ice cream could taste so rich! I added some crushed oreos to ours at the request of the kids and it was just incredible!

I make ice cream at least once a week during the summer and this is the best ice cream recipe I have ever tasted. As written, it has a smooth, thick and creamy (yet not greasy) texture and the perfect chocolate flavor. I altered the recipe only slightly; I used special dark cocoa powder, and added chopped almonds. Also, I did not refrigerate the mixture for two hours, only let it cool on the stove to room temp before putting in my ice cream machine and I had no problem with it freezing. PERFECT!

The single best ice cream I have ever had. I made some modifications: I used 1c heavy whipping cream and 2 c heavy cream; 2T of Penzy's Dutch chocolate powder and 3oz of Scharffenberger extra rich milk chocolate (41% cacao). I also added chocolate Oreos as a mix-in. It is truly amazing. Great texture! Next time I will try adding walnuts and banana!!

Delicious. I made this for my daughter. I am not a chocolate guy but this ice cream came out perfect. I added some leftover chocolate chips i had from making cookies. Will definitely make again. I will probably double the recipe next time though. It is almost gone, lol.

Wonderful as is -- incredibly rich and soft, and stays well in the freezer for several days without developing a chalky texture. Can't wait to make it again!

SO GOOD! This was my first time making ice cream (as an adult, as a child I always helped my mom used to make it with a hand crank machine and chipped ice) so I wasn't sure what to expect. I've made custard before though so I had that part knocked. This turned out excellent for me. I used skim milk and only 1 cup of cream as that's all I had in the fridge. I also used 70% dark chocolate. I bet the quality of chocolate you use makes all the difference here. If you use cheap, it'll taste cheap. It still came out incredibly smooth and fudgy even with the skim milk, so I'll do it that way every time (and there WILL be others) I make this to shave off a few calories. Hands down better than any ice cream you can get at the store. I also baked a few double chocolate cookies, crumbled them and popped them into my kitchen aid about 15 minutes into the churning. Absolute bliss - I'll never buy chocolate ice cream again.

Very very very chocolaty! I had no problems with mine freezing. Just make sure to cool the base before adding it to your ice cream maker.

This is hands down the best Chocolate Ice Cream I have made. I added 2 whole eggs instead of the 3 egg yolks, mixing it in with the milk and cream before cooking, and didn't measure the chocolate chips, (I figured 2 hands full was enuff). Smooth and creamy, it was wonderful. Will make this again and again.

This ice cream was very good, although my ice cream maker went capoots and I had to just stick the cream in my freezer making it a hard icy block. The flavor was great though; I used half and half since it was all I had on hand and the taste reminded me of a chilled brownie, yum!

I'm not sure if I did something wrong but my machine ran for over an hour and the 'ice cream' would not get any harder than a VERY soft, soft serve. In fact it looks and tastes exactly like a Wendy's Frosty. Not that there's anything wrong with Wendy's frosty, but it's not at all what I expected.

Excellent creamy, custard-style ice cream. I doubled the recipe (it made about 3 quarts) and used about 1/3 to 1/2 of a bag of Hershey's Special Dark chocolate chips in place of the chopped baking chocolate. The end result tastes like Breyer's chocolate and would make a great base for Rocky Road ice cream! I wasn't sure how thick the cooked custard mixture should be, but I cooked it until it was almost the thickness of pudding, being careful to keep stirring, and it turned out great. I did have to chill it an hour longer than indicated (total of 3 hours).

Absolutely decadent! Rich and creamy. I used 3.5 oz. Green & Black's Organic Dark Chocolate with 70% Cocoa content (rather than 2 oz. semisweet). Very dark, and very delicious. This reminds me of a Bittersweet Chocolate Love Affair ice cream that we would have at our favorite ice cream shop in Vancouver, WA.

Wow! I tried this yesterday and I am home-made ice cream virgin! This truly is the nicest ice cream I have ever tasted! Even the hubby likes it. I made it exactly to the recipe and it freezes fine. I froze mine overnight after putting it through about 40-50 mins in the ice cream maker. It was divine. Is's now all gone. I am making a double recipe as I type this. Thumbs up to this recipe!

I was impressed with this ice cream recipe. My husband hates homemade ice cream, and he devoured this and wanted more. The only variation I used was 3 T. of dark cocoa powder instead of 2. If you're looking for ice cream for a crowd, though, you might want to double it, because it doesn't make a whole lot. Other than that, this stuff is awesome!
