Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Method

- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and granulated sugar until they are well combined.

- Add the whole milk and continue whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and the cocoa powder is fully dissolved.

- Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.

- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is well chilled. This step is essential to achieve a creamy texture.

- Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

- During the last few minutes of churning, add in the semisweet chocolate chips. Let the ice cream maker incorporate them evenly into the mixture.

- Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency and the chocolate chips are well distributed, transfer it to an airtight container.

- Place the container in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream has firmed up.

- Scoop your homemade chocolate chip ice cream into bowls or cones and savor the creamy goodness.
