The truth. I don\u2019t like chocolate ice cream. Chips I could abide, sure. I liked the lurid green of a mint chocolate chip as much as the next child of the 80\u2019s. But chocolate ice cream has categorically left me cold my entire life. Until now. It always seemed both a disservice to chocolate and to ice cream. But then I discovered the secret to making a chocolate ice cream worthy of the word chocolate and all its complexity. Can I just do that thing where I proclaim this the Best Chocolate Ice Cream Ever? It involves Lindt<\/a> chocolate, ganache, and chocolate custard. All at once.<\/p>\n

In short: you make a ganache out of a Lindt EXCELLENCE 70% Cocoa bar<\/a> and chocolate custard out of the best cocoa powder you can afford. And then you mix it. And freeze it. And then throw in the best thing ever: broken up \u201cchips\u201d of the new Lindt EXCELLENCE Blackberry with Acai bar<\/a> which has the perfect combination of silky dark chocolate with pieces of sweet blackberry and tangy acai berry. Add a swirl of blackberry syrup. And you\u2019re done with all other chocolate ice cream ever.<\/p>\n

Could it live without the blackberry? Sure. Make this with or without it. You\u2019ll have no regrets either way. But I find the tart foil to the richness of the chocolate to be deal making, breaking, killing it awesome. I wouldn\u2019t skip it unless berries were out of season and I ran out of my frozen supplies. If brownie batter, if truffle, if all that is holy and chocolate was ice cream, it would be this. I stand behind this with every fiber of my chocolate loving yet simultaneously chocolate ice cream disdaining being: it is a game changer. Privilege richness. Don\u2019t compromise. Is making ice cream from scratch more time consuming than buying? Yes. Definitely, categorically, yes. But. It\u2019s worth it. So, before the heat lets up, make some chocolate ice cream that actually tastes like chocolate.<\/p>\n
