How to Make Chocolate Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  2. Reduce heat to low.
  3. Add 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules, and ¾ cup granulated sugar. Whisk constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons cognac (optional).
  5. Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature. Then, pour into a freezer-safe container.
  6. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  7. Once chilled, churn the ice cream in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  8. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours to harden further.
  9. Serve chilled and enjoy!
