So I have had the trouble of constantly making ice cream that is always sooo hard a day after i run it. I used this recipe, and wow....still soft 24 hrs. Sooo happy. Although i do agree that it is a little sweet, and for me not that chocolatety, so I added about 8 oz of chips in there (bittersweet and that made it really good for me. I dont think i am going to mess around with this recipe though, because i dont want to mess up the chemistry too much =

Depends what you have in the cup. A cup is a measure of volume, but a dry ounce is a measure of weight.

Depending on the density of the material you are going to have in the cup, the weight in ounces of the material will vary. For example, if you fill the cup with lead, the cup will weigh much more than if you fill with feathers.

The conversion is different for each ingredient!

Here are the two this recipe calls for.

Granulated sugar: 1 cup = 7.055 ounces
Cocoa: 1 C = 4.409 ounces

The only thing I change was to reduce sugar from 9 oz to 8.5 oz. The flavor is just right if not a tad too sweet. I will try using just 8 oz of sugar next time and see which one I'll like better.

This recipe makes an amazing, creamy, rich, delicious chocolate ice cream, whether alone or with mix-ins. It does take more time to make then stated in the recipe, but well worth it!

Also, a tip for your ice cream maker - the directions for my ice cream maker says leave it in the freezer for at least 8 hours before use, and the first time I made this ice cream I froze it 8 hours exactly before adding the ice cream mixture, and got a texture that was uneven and more icy. The second time I made it, I froze my ice cream maker for weeks before I used it, and this made the texture much, much creamier and smooth!
