How to Make Chocolate Agave Ice Cream

  1. Melt 8 ounces of finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate and 1/2 cup agave nectar in a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until completely smooth and melted. Remove from heat.
  2. In a separate saucepan, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder over medium heat until the mixture just begins to simmer. Whisk for another minute, then remove from heat.
  3. Gently pour the warm cream mixture into the melted chocolate and agave, whisking until fully combined.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk 4 large egg yolks until light and frothy.
  5. In a small saucepan, gently warm 1/2 cup heavy cream and a pinch of salt. Slowly temper the warm cream into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling. Return the mixture to the saucepan.
  6. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the mixture thickens and reaches 170°F (77°C) on a candy thermometer. Do not let it boil.
  7. Remove from heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into the chocolate mixture, whisking to combine.
  8. Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to chill thoroughly.
  9. Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  10. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to harden further before serving.
