Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Ice Cream Base

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and creamy.
3. Slowly pour ½ cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
4. Gradually pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, stirring continuously over low heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
6. Strain the custard through a fine sieve for a smooth texture, then let it cool to room temperature.
7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
