Milk Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Milk Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Ice cream base recipe adapted from The Perfect Scoop [https://amzn.to/3MsBBBg] (Ten Speed Press) I use a mid-strength amaro for this one, Ramazzoti, which falls pleasantly within the mid-range range of bitter and sweet. Some amari are quite intense and bitter (like Fernet-Branca and Cynar), others are herbaceous and/or less-aggressive (such as Averna, Nonino, Sfumato, and Montenegro), and it's hard to give an exact quantity. So start with 2 tablespoons and add more to taste. Remember that the flavor will recede a bit once churned and frozen, so err on the side of a little stronger, but don't add too much or the ice cream won't freeze properly. Generally speaking, you don't want to add any more than 4 tablespoons (60ml) of a spirit that's 30-40% ABV to one quart (1l) of ice cream.In place of the amaro you can substitute 1-2 tablespoons of cognac, whiskey, dark rum, or another spirit, or leave it out. If you don't have an ice cream machine, check out my post Making Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Machine. [https://www.davidlebovitz.com/making-ice-crea-1/]
