Double Chocolate Toffee Ice Cream


Double Chocolate Toffee Ice Cream is a recipe I will be using now in South Africa as summer is here.
With an ice cream maker (such as the Breville BCI600XL Smart Scoop Ice Cream Maker); it is as easy as pie to make this.

For a tasty Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe you you can have a look at my Hub:

What You Need:
  • 1 C of sugar
  • 1/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 C whipping cream
  • 1 C of milk
  • 1 t vanilla
  • 1/8 t salt
  • 3/4 C chocolate covered toffee candy, chopped
How to Make It:
  1. Place the sugar and cocoa powder in a large mix bowl and toss to combine.
  2. Pour the whipping cream and milk into the bowl.
  3. Add the vanilla and salt and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.

  4. Pour the mixture into the freezer canister.
  5. Freeze according the manufacturer's directions.
  6. Stir in the toffee pieces and allow the ice cream to ripen 4 hours.
Makes 8 servings

A great way to serve this ice cream is in a chocolate dipped cone. 
  • Place a 1/2 C of semisweet chocolate pieces in a microwave safe bowl. 
  • Microwave the chocolate at 70 percent power or medium high heat for 1 minute. 
  • Stir and continue microwaving for 1 to 3 minutes or until the chocolate is smooth. 
  • Dip the cones into the melted chocolate about 1/3 of the way up the cone. 
  • If the chocolate is too thick, stir in 1 t of melted shortening. 
  • Place the cones top side down on wax paper until the chocolate is set.
