Mexican Hot Chocolate Ice Cream

Description

A wonderfully rich dark chocolate ice cream with a kick. The large dose of cinnamon and cayenne add some interesting warmth to an otherwise familiar flavor. This ice cream is scoopable after just a minute or so out of the freezer. It is relatively soft, and the high solids create a chewy texture. The heat from the cayenne is very pronounced.
