Mocha Ice Cream Base v1

Description

A rich coffee/chocolate ice cream base made with equal parts cocoa powder and high quality instant coffee. Tasting notes: Texture and taste are both spot on. Scoopable after only a minute or two out of the freezer. Relatively strong coffee taste with a lighter chocolate note. When paired with a fudge ripple, the fudge flavor dominates. If adding a ripple again, I would increase the amount of coffee. Note: did not have any lecithin or eggs on hand, but would add if making next time

Instructions

1. Combine dry ingredients (sugars, stabilizer, milk powder, cocoa powder, coffee, salt) 2. Combine wet ingredients (milk, cream) 3. Thoroughly mix dry and wet ingredients (use a stick blender if you have one) 4. Move base into a sealed container and let age in fridge for at least 8 hours 5. Churn
