Some notes: We used Ghirardelli cocoa and did not like the taste. It was... well too cocoa-ee. So the second batch we used Hershey's brand. Much better taste. It tasted more like chocolate. Then we read another recipe that did not omit the egg white, so we tried Alton's recipe but used the whole egg on the third batch. Yum! It was more like frozen custard which is a favorite of ours.

Also: If you are going to put your ice cream in the freezer after churning, you will get ice crystals. This is something that doesn't happen in the store bought brands mostly because of their quick freeze process. I suggest either eating it right after the churn, or let it sit at room temperature for a little while after taking the batch out of the freezer.

my first time making ice cream. I won't bother looking for another chocolate ice cream recipe. Everyone agrees....the best we've ever tasted. I used Girardelli cocoa and followed the recipe exactly. So easy and so delicious!

Very good ice cream. It is creamy but too much. Great chocolate flavor. Kids and adults loved it. Easy to make. I added 1/2tsp of salt and sped up the cooling by putting its bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and stirring on and off for 30 min.

I LOVE this! This is the only recipe that doesn't create ice crystals. I reduced the eggs to 7 and because I was paranoid about ice crystals, I laid a piece of wax paper over the ice cream as I put it in the freezer to harden. This reinforces my idea of never buying ice cream again. Now to make Alton's vanilla.

This is one of the best tasting chocolate ice creams I have had! Very creamy and a huge hit at a party. Recipe does make a smaller batch of ice cream than most but next time I will just have to make more!!

Excellent! My daughter and I made this. It reminded me of a chocolate pudding I use to get at a restaurant I worked at when I was a teenager. It was called pot of chocolate and I loved it! We added chopped up frozen cherries and mini chocolate chips in the last few minutes of churning.

Yummy! Reminds me of the frozen custard stands in the Midwest! I made this recipe twice, exactly as written except the second time I added chopped up chocolate covered cherries the last five minutes of churning. It is so much better than store-bought ice cream.

Holy cow! Talk about death by chocolate! This is by far the richest, sweetest and creamiest ice cream ever! I added crushed Oreos at the end.

I will say that it is actually a little too rich for my tastes. The oreos actually helped to cut the sweetness a bit

Also, yes to the adding the salt. I think next time I will lighten it up a bit by using a little less sugar and cutting down the heavy cream and using some regular half and half and some fat-free half and half.

But if you can handle it...richest chocolate ice cream ever!

Sooooo delicious. I simmered some dried cherries in brandy, drained them and added them in before the last five minutes of churning. Creamy chocolatey goodness.
