Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.

Add the cream and milk, and whisk until combined.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until fully melted and smooth.

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 20–25 minutes.

Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For a deeper chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa and 70% dark chocolate.
Mix-ins like chocolate chips, brownie chunks, or nuts can be added after churning.
