It is then whipped to get a smooth mixture, which is followed by the addition of the melted chocolate and cocoa powder. Finally mix these into whipped cream and then transfer into a container or box.

Main ingredients used in the preparation of chocolate Ice-cream
Whipping cream – It is reduced in fat content, whipped easily, and gives good stability.
Cocoa powder and Dark chocolate – Cocoa powder is one of the ingredients in dark chocolate. It is considered as a super food as it is rich in antioxidants and minerals. It helps in improving blood flow and reduces cholesterol. Eating up to one serving of chocolate per day may reduce your risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke. Cocoa powder also improves mood swings, depression, and brain function.
Milk powder – It is dry milk and similar to liquid raw milk rich in minerals and vitamins. Milk powder is a source of protein and added to recipes to increase the amount of protein and energy.
Sugar – It provides sweetness and avoids ice crystals in the ice- cream.
Corn flour – It is used as a thickener in the recipe.

Tips and tricks
- Always dissolve cornflour and milk powder with milk at room temperature.
- After adding milk and cornflour mixture into the boiling milk, stir continuously till it becomes thick. Otherwise it may stick to the bottom of the pan.
- If an electric hand mixer is unavailable, then you may mix the milk mixture and whipping cream and blend in the mixer jar using it in pulse mode. Do not blend it continuously.
- Choco chips should be added after transferring the ice-cream mixture into the container, otherwise they will sink to the bottom and won’t be distributed evenly.
- Cling film should be touching the surface of the ice-cream; it helps in reducing ice crystals in the ice- cream.
- Ice- cream mixture should be frozen for at least 8-10 hours for the best results.
- After taking the container out from the freezer, always leave it outside for 2-3 minutes. It helps in softening the ice- cream and easy scooping.
