Thank you AB! This turned out to be sooooo wonderful. I used TCHO drinking chocolate for the cocoa powder and it was amazing. I also threw in some grey sea salt crystals at the end. Wowwwwww.

Our annual fourth of July church picnic includes a homemade ice cream contest. I made Alton's recipe which was incredible! After it was churned I added small chunks of homemade chocolate cake, toasted coconut and toasted pecans. Lastly, I swirled in some caramel. I then put it in the freezer overnight. My entry was entitled "German Chocolate Cake Ice Cream". It won against several other very worthy opponents. Thanks Alton!

This recipe makes the most delightful, creamiest, richest chocolate ice cream I've ever had. I also took the liberty in exchanging some of the yolks for peanut butter or vanilla extract for mint extract to make even more wonderful flavors. Thank you Alton for providing such a wonderful base recipe!!

Just as a note, Alton Brown uses a scale and weighs a lot of his ingredients. That's why they seem so odd to a lot of us (me included. :

Delicious!!! I like the amount of chocolate. Perfect.

First of all, what's up with the measurements? It calls for "1 1/2 oz. of unsweetened cocoa powder, approx. 1/2 cup"....that doesn't even make sense. 2 oz. is 1/4 cup...1/2 cup would be 4 oz. So which is it--1 1/2 oz. or 4 oz.?? I opted to go with 2 oz...
I JUST made this, I'm eating it as I type...it's sooooo good! I personally think it's a perfect amount of chocolate (the 2 oz, it's creamy and smooth and chocolatey and rich. My husband decidedly loves it as well, although he has complained that it's "not chocolatey enough".
Which brings me back to the question: Was I supposed to do 4 oz. instead??

Whatever, this ice cream completely rocks with 2 oz. of cocoa powder...I suppose next time I'll try it with 4 oz and see how the hubs likes that.

Alton you did it again! This receipe is so rich and creamy. It is the best chocolate ice cream I have ever had. I made it exactly like the receipe said. If you want to taste the best...make this one.

This ice cream is so rich, so smooth and creamy, so chocolaty, I might be a changed person because of it. I consider myself to be a connoisseur of ice cream. Dare I say expert? I LOVE ice cream and almost can't live without it. I have been wanting a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker since I saw Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa make Espresso Ice Cream for the Jeffrey Home Alone episode. So, I finally just got one! I went for the Cuisinart Stainless-Steel Ice Cream Maker since it is 2 quarts. Then I had to decide what kind to make! I decided to start with chocolate. I came across this recipe and made it mostly because of the high reviews it got! It takes a little extra time to make it but it is amazing. I didn't change a thing from the recipe and it is the perfect ice cream. It's so rich, you can serve it alone, no need for mix-ins. PERFECT!

I didn't think it was possible, but this was almost *too* rich. But man, was it GOOD!

Might try it again with some whole milk and half and half, and dial down the eggs a bit.

Bonus: you end up with enough spare egg whites to make a nice souffle!

A few months ago we bought a Cusinart elelectric ice cream maker and began making batch after batch of shaved ice that wound up solid blocks of ice in the freezer. Thank heavens for Alton Brown. This recipe is wonderful!! Looks, tastes, and feels just like premium ice cream. The only thing I did differently from the recipe was allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator overnight to "age"; and left the bowl in the deep freeze for a week to get super cold. That plus this recipe kept the shaved ice at bay.
