Chocolate Chili Ice Cream Recipes

CHILI CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Gently heat cream and chocolate until the chocolate has fully melted. You can either do this in the microwave, heating at 30-second increments then stirring, or on the stovetop over low heat.
• Add the cayenne pepper bit by bit, and taste. Adjust flavour according to tastes.
• Cover the cream and chocolate, and refrigerate 2 hours until cream is cold again.
• Whip chocolate cream until stiff peaks form. This may take slightly longer than regular whipping cream because of the chocolate. Just keep going!
• Pour condensed milk into a large bowl, and add a scoop of the chocolate cream. Gently fold, then fold in remaining cream.
• Pour into an air-tight container or loaf pan lined with parchment paper. If using a loaf tin, wrap in one layer of plastic wrap, and finish a layer of aluminium foil.

CHOCOLATE CHILI ICE CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium-sized pot, slowly bring half the cream and cocoa powder to a boil, thoroughly incorporating the cocoa powder.
• Once the cream has reached a boil, remove from heat.
• Add the chocolate chips and stir until everything is smooth and creamy. Mix in the remaining cream. Set aside.
• In another medium pot, mix the sugar, salt, milk, and chilies. Heat to a very low simmer.
• Put the egg yolks in a small bowl and lightly beat until it is a smooth consistency. Add some of the milk and sugar mixture in the yolk, one cup at a time to slowly raise the temperature of the yolks. After about half of the milk mixture is incorporated in the yolks, add the yolks to the milk mixture, getting as much of the yolk in the pot as possible.
• Using a wooden spoon, heat the milk and egg mixture on medium heat stirring constantly to create a custard. Occasionally scrap the sides and bottoms of the pot to prevent the custard from sticking. The custard is ready when a thick coat of custard coats the back of the spoon.
• Place a strainer over the chocolate mix and slowly strain the custard into the chocolate to separate the chili and any egg that may have cooked. Mix until everything is a uniform chocolate color. Add in the vanilla and mix.
• Cool the chocolate in the refrigerator or in an ice bath. You can make an ice bath by filling a larger pot with ice and cold water. Place the chocolate in the pot without completely immersing the pot.
• Put the chocolate in your ice cream maker and and follow the manufacturer directions. Take the ice cream out and freeze in an airtight container for another 3 - 4 hours or overnight. If you prefer soft serve ice cream, enjoy immediately.
• *If you do not have an ice cream maker, put the chilled chocolate in a container and place in the freezer. Mix the ice cream every 30 minutes, breaking up all the frozen pieces. If possible, use a hand mixer or immersion blender. Repeat for 4 hours, then let the ice cream freeze completely for another 4 hours or overnight.

HOT SPICED MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE WITH ICE CREAM DUSTED WITH CHILI POWDER

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Split the vanilla bean and add to the boiling water. Add sugar, cinnamon, espresso, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 1 minute and add the bittersweet chocolate. Whisk until it gets thick. Add milk and simmer 1 minute. Serve immediately with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and a sprinkling of chili powder on top.
• You may make this ahead and reheat. Make sure to either whisk it or blend it in a blender to make it light and foamy before serving. (The classic Mexican chocolate was whisked with a special wooden tool called a 'molinillo'.)

CHOCOLATE CHILI ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt 6 ounces of the bittersweet chocolate, chopped, and the unsweetened chocolate, stirring until the mixture is smooth, and remove the bowl from the heat. In a heavy saucepan combine the cream and the milk and bring the mixture just to a boil. In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks and the brown sugar, add the cream mixture in a stream, whisking, and pour the mixture back into the pan. Cook the custard over moderately low heat, stirring, until it registers 170°F. on a candy thermometer, strain it through a fine sieve set over another bowl, and whisk in the melted chocolate, the cinnamon, and the Kahlúa. Let the mixture cool completely and freeze it in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions, adding the remaining 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine, the crumbled chilies, and the almonds during the last few minutes of freezing time.

CHILE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Mix cocoa powder, sugar, chile powder, cinnamon, and cayenne together in a bowl.
• Stir milk and heavy cream into cocoa mixture until well combined.
• Pour mixture into a home ice cream maker; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a covered container and freeze until firm.

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just-simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water, or do this in the microwave in 20-second bursts until smooth and glossy. Leave to cool slightly. Pour the cream, condensed milk and vanilla into a second bowl and beat for 3 mins using an electric whisk until slightly thickened and the beaters leave a trail in the mixture when lifted across the bowl. Be careful not to overwhip, as you don't want the mixture to be too stiff - as soon as the beaters leave a trail, it's ready.
• Gently fold the melted chocolate and cocoa powder into the cream mixture until thoroughly combined, ensuring the spatula is reaching the bottom of the bowl so all the chocolate gets mixed in. Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful. Scrape the mixture into a 1-litre freezerproof container, then scatter over the reserved chocolate chips. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hrs until firm but scoopable. Will keep frozen for up to a month. To serve, scoop the ice cream into chilled bowls or ice cream cones and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt, if you like.

SPEEDY GINGER ICE CREAM WITH CHILLI-CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir the ginger and syrup through the ice cream, then return to the freezer to firm up for at least 1 hr.
• Put the chocolate and chilli in a large bowl. Bring milk, cream and sugar to the boil, then remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Leave to stand for 2 mins, then whisk until the chocolate is melted. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.

EASY MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the milk, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract and peppermint extract until the sugar has dissolved. Color to your liking with the green food coloring.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. After about 10 minutes into the freezing, add the chocolate chips. After the ice cream has thickened, about 30 minutes later, spoon into a container, and freeze for 2 hours.
