Why You Will Love This Ice Cream
There’s a lot to love about this homemade chocolate ice cream. For starters, it’s made with simple, everyday ingredients that come together to create a dessert that’s truly special. But what really sets it apart is the use of egg yolks.
Egg yolks are a key ingredient in many premium ice creams, and for good reason. They contribute to the richness and creaminess of the ice cream, giving it a smooth and velvety texture that’s hard to resist. The yolks also lend a beautiful pale yellow color to the ice cream, making it even more appealing.
In addition, egg yolks help to stabilize the ice cream mixture, preventing the formation of ice crystals and ensuring that the ice cream stays creamy and scoopable, even after freezing.

- 110 ml Heavy cream
