Delicious! I added crumbled heath pieces to mine. It's definitely premium ice cream.

I followed the recipe exactly, using Hershey's cocoa, and whipped it thoroughly to avoid any cocoa clumps. We dished it soft, right out of the machine, and it was amazing. Rich, creamy perfection. I've never had better chocolate ice cream. Normally I don't finish my kids' food, but I couldn't let my youngest leave half of his to melt on the counter. I finished mine and his, then took care of all of the scrapings in the machine and finished with the rubber spatula. I got a little carried away, but it was just so good.

Awesome chocolate ice cream! I made another recipe before and it just wasn't as chocolaty. I was surprised at the amount of egg yolks, but I made almost 3 pints of this recipe. This one got the thumbs up from my hubby and the kids so it gets a place in our go to recipes binder. Thanks Alton, love to watch u do your thing.

Just got my new ice cream maker for Christmas & this was the first recipe I had to try. I followed the recipe exactly except I added 2-3 oz of bittersweet chocolate chips because I love chocolate. I also strained the mixture before adding it back to the saucepan. We gave this an ice bath to speed up the time & waited till the temp reached 40 degrees before putting in the machine. I just couldn't wait 4-8 hours or overnight! We love this ice cream & would definitely make it again. So smooth & delicious!

This was my first attempt at making ice cream with my new ice cream maker. It was wonderful. I followed some of the previous reviews and strained the mixture to get rid of any clumps and used 7 egg yolks instead of 8. Plus I added a dash of instant espresso powder. My college age niece and nephew came by twice just to get some of their aunt's ice cream. This will be my go to recipe.

Super easy to make, I put my mixture through a strainer before chilling as I had bits of chocolate powder clumps in it. I will be making this again soon!

Want to really impress guests? This is a knock out! We have been making this ice cream ever since we first saw the Good Eats episode. Now we always have cream and half and half on hand. The only modification we make is reducing the cocoa to 1/4 cup - it's PLENTY chocolatey. We have a famous custard shop in our neighborhood that everyone knows and loves, but after coming to our parties, all say Alton's trumps! We cool ours overnight before churning and have found that makes a smoother texture. Winner!

first review here, but i had to post that i LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe. one suggestion though: sift the cocoa powder in. my first batch had little grains of clumped up cocoa, made for a...unique texture, and not one that was particularly favorable

also, because my wife and i enjoy "jerry's chocolate" {of ben and jerry's fame, the type used in half baked and probably others, but NOT the flavor in chocolate fudge brownie} so much i tried this with a mod. instead of the full amount of cocoa powder, melt 1 oz of unsweetened baking chocolate and only use .75 oz of the powder. the flavor is more complex {which is the HUGE benefit of jerry's chocolate}, but the texture is PERFECT with alton's recipe!

Absolutely the best chocolate ice cream EVER!!!! I use Penzey's cocoa which makes a world of difference. I also added a hint of cinnamon for a Mexican Chocolate flair, DELISH!!!!
