Recipe- Super Creamy Chocolate Ice Cream

This Chocolate Ice Cream does not require an ice cream machine; is super creamy, really chocolatey and comes together in minutes! The combination of Baileys and chocolate is classic and will be a hit every single time!

My favorite childhood story includes my younger sister and ice cream. Every time mum and dad would take us out for ice cream, Pragya would finish hers at break-neck speed, while I would take my time savoring it. Once she was done, she would invariably turn towards me and demand that I share mine with her. A fight would start, and mum would have to intervene. I don’t remember who won in the end but then, that’s the thing with childhood memories. It doesn’t matter who won or lost. What matters is that they always make you smile.

Since then ice-cream has sort of become my comfort food because the memories make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. One bite and nostalgia kicks in. It reminds me of the innocence of childhood, the twinkle in Pragya’s eye when she would start eyeing my cone, mum’s exasperation at our squabbles and dad’s amusement. It feels like yesterday.

Ingredients

110 grams Chocolate use dark or milk or a combination
6 tablespoons Milk
6 tablespoons Cream
12 tablespoons Baileys
2 Ripe Bananas medium sized

Method

* Place the chocolate and milk in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave for 30 seconds on full power.

* Stir with a fork after 30 seconds, and if not melted, microwave again in 15 second increments till it melts.

* Remember chocolate always looks less melted than it is, so be careful not to burn it.

* Add the chocolate mixture and rest of the ingredients to a blender and blend till smooth.

* Once blended, pour into a freezer safe container (metal or plastic) and freeze for at least 5 hours or more.

* Top with nuts, chocolate sauce or any other add ons to serve. Or if you are like me, just dig in.
