I would strain the mixture to remove some of those bits. As long as you don’t have too much, you should be ok to use the strained liquid.

I’ve made this 3 or 4 times now for my husband & he loves it, as does everyone else who’s had it. This recipe makes a double batch if you are using the Kitchen Aid Ice Cream attachment and fills 2 Gladware 64 oz oval containers to the top. I make 1 batch with heath bar and one with chopped up peanut butter cups. I use yolk only & also always strain it before refrigerating. Big hit! Thank you Sue!

4-Quarts WOOD-BUCKET, ELECTRIC ICE-CREAM MAKER, 1980 RECIPE

A. Mix together well:
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup powered cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs

B. Put the mixture in the ice-cream-maker metal-cylinder with:
1 quart Half-&-Half
1 pint heavy whipping cream
Cover the metal cylinder with its cap

1. Put the capped metal cylinder inside the empty wood bucket. With the cylinder in, on the outside of the cylinder, pack the wood-bucket with alternate layers of ice and rock salt. Sprinkle rock salt over the ice, using a total amount of approximately 1.5 cups rock salt. Keep refilling as ice settles.

2. LET IT TURN!

3. When mixture starts to thicken, add 1 cup (more or less) chopped nuts, M&M’s, or whatever you like.

4. LET IT TURN UNTIL THE MACHINE STOPS (Automatic stop)

5. Remove the cylinder from the bucket, remove the inside plastic paddle, place the covered cylinder inside the fridge-freezer. Let it freeze 1/2 hour minimum.

I think I’d use egg yolks only. Will update the recipe.

Also:
Used creamier Half & Half instead of 1% milk.
Used only egg yolks (3).
The 1/4 cup of cocoa powder becomes 1/8 cup, which is 6 tsp or 2 Tbsp.
Note that there are several quality semisweet baking bars on the market other than Baker’s – I used Ghiradelli’s.
Sugar was reduced initially from 1 1/2 cups to 3/4 cup, but then when combining ingredients just before churning I tasted the batter & added another 1/8 cup. You may want to skip this.
Churned for 33 minutes.
My wife – a chocolate fanatic- says this turned out delicious!
Thanks for the great recipe – John

This was a hit this weekend! Everyone said it was the best chocolate ice cream they’ve ever had! Many requests to make it again.

It does seem like a lot but makes it so delish. You can use less if you’d like. Any brand will work.

]]> By: Dianne Jones https://suebeehomemaker.com/double-chocolate-ice-cream/#comment-8635 https://suebeehomemaker361.e.wpstage.net/?p=6351#comment-8635 Is 3 tablespoons of vanilla correct? It seems like a lot. Can I use another brand of vanilla if I can’t find Watkins, such as McCormick pure vanilla?
