Ingredients

Scale

2 cups (480ml) Heavy Cream
1 cup (240ml) Whole Milk
¾ cup (150g) Granulated Sugar
½ cup (45g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
¼ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ice Cream Maker: Ensure your ice cream maker's freezer bowl is thoroughly chilled by placing it in the freezer for at least 12-24 hours
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt, breaking up any cocoa lumps
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the heavy cream and whole milk. Whisk everything together until the cocoa powder and sugar mostly dissolve into the liquid
  4. Heat the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture just begins to simmer around the edges and steam rises. Do not allow it to boil vigorously
  5. Remove from Heat & Add Vanilla: Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract
  6. Chill the Base: Transfer the chocolate mixture to an airtight container or a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight
  7. Churn the Ice Cream: Once the base is completely chilled, pour it into your pre-chilled ice cream maker bowl. Follow manufacturer's instructions for churning (typically 20-30 minutes) until it reaches a soft-serve consistency
  8. Final Freeze (Ripening): Transfer the soft-serve consistency ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Press parchment paper directly onto the surface, cover tightly, and freeze for another 2-4 hours, or until firm
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop and serve your glorious homemade Costco Dubai chocolate ice cream!

Notes

Chill Your Base Thoroughly: A colder base means less time in the churning machine, resulting in smaller ice crystals and a smoother, creamier final product. Overnight chilling is always best.

Quality Ingredients Matter: Use good quality heavy cream, whole milk, and a premium unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed for a darker color and mellower flavor.

Pre-Chill Your Storage Container: Before transferring freshly churned soft-serve, place your freezer-safe storage container in the freezer for 15-30 minutes to prevent melting.

Let it Soften Slightly Before Serving: For best scooping and flavor, remove ice cream from the freezer about 5-10 minutes before serving.
