DIY Ice Cream Tutorial #01

I woke up this morning to a bed of sweat and nearly died from dehydration due to crazy heat in Singapore (not like that's not going to happen one day, say you wake up and you find your spouse/siblings melted in bed right next to you/melted in bed right in the room next door. but definitely not today, nor to me.). So being the extremely lazy me, with extremely influential lazy friends, our laziness merged and I spent my afternoon trying not to melt in my room.

In order to do so, I decided to make my own ice cream. (Yes, how can any ice cream lover not know how to make their own ice cream?! )

Now this is a fairly simple recipe, and it's for the chocolate lovers:

DIY Chocolate Chip Chocolate Ice Cream
(Chocolate cream ice cream with a generous dose of Hershey's chocolate chips)

• 1 Cup Meiji Chocolate Milk (I use Meiji cause I find that it's not very sweet, after boiling milk would taste sweeter as the lactose breaks down)
• 1/3 Cup Sugar (You can use up till 1/2 Cup depending on the sweetness you would prefer)
• 3 Egg Yolks
• 3 Pinch of Salt (You'll need it to slightly bring up the flavor)
• 2 Cups Whipping Cream

First of all, you'd mix the milk, sugar, salt and egg yolk together in a bowl until even.

Next, set the mixture in a saucepan and keep it over a minimum heat (small flames) until it reaches a soft boil. (How you'd want to be sure that it's boiling is when the foam caused by the egg yolk disappears and creamy swirls of tiny bubbles start to appear, making your mixture look just like a fresh cup of hot chocolate.)


Remember to constantly stir the mixture while over the heat to prevent the milk from curdling and becoming charred at the bottom of the saucepan)

Transfer your mixture to a chilled metal bowl and set it to cool in the fridge, stirring every now and then to keep it evenly mixed. This procedure can be done up from two hours to up till an entire day, after which simply add in the whipping cream and stir the mixture evenly.

And of course, you'd wouldn't think that I've forgotten, have I?

The star ingredient of today, Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips!


Stir in the amount of chocolate chips you'd want to add to your ice cream (you wouldn't want to know how much I added to mine, just know that its deviliciously chocolaty.)

Set your ice cream to chill in the freezer, for two hours, take it out and mix the chocolate chips evenly with the ice cream again (you may repeat this step to ensure that the ice cream and the chips are fully even). Then leave it for the night.

Last but not least, after all that waiting, ENJOY!
