Needless to say, I am thrilled that an ice cream collection is being made here at Kitchen Bouquet.   Deep Dark Chocolate Ice Cream - Cuisinart  (adapted) Ingredients 2-1/4 cups whole milk 2-1/4 cups heavy cream 1-1/8 cups granulated sugar 1-1/8 cups Dutch process cocoa 2 large eggs 2 large egg yolks 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped Instruc...
