How to Make Mexican Hot Chocolate Ice Cream
Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
Instructions:
In a saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and vanilla extract. Slowly pour in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly, to temper the eggs.
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and stir in salt and chopped dark chocolate until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
Serve in a bowl or cone, and top with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!
