G’s Best Ever Chocolate Ice Cream

Ingredients

4 tbsp sugar
8 tbsp water
250g dark chocolate (cooking chocolate is fine)
3 egg yolks
375ml cream

Directions

Mix sugar and water in saucepan, bring to boil and cook rapidly for 3 minutes.
Let cool.
Place broken up chocolate and slightly cooled syrup into the blender. Cover and blend at high speed for 6 seconds or until the chocolate mixture is smooth.
Add egg yolks and blend at high speed for 5 seconds or until well blended.
Whisk cream in a bowl until thick.
Fold in chocolate mixture.
Spoon mixture into a round airtight container and freeze.

The icecream can be turned onto a serving plate well in advance and returned to the freezer. Remove from freezer 20 minutes before serving so it can soften slightly.

Decorate with flake, grated chocolate or chopped nuts.

Serves 8
