style="font-size:15px;"> Chocolate ice cream is a delicious treat that can be prepared at home in just a few simple steps. Here is a detailed recipe for making this dessert:
Ingredients:
2 cups cream
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
4 eggs
200 g dark chocolate
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
In a large saucepan, combine cream, milk, sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually add the hot cream mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and streaks the back of a spoon.
Remove pan from heat and add chopped dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely dissolved.
Cool the mixture to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for a few hours to cool completely.
Pour the cooled mixture into the ice cream maker and close the lid. Freeze according to your ice cream maker’s instructions, usually taking about 20—30 minutes.
Place the ice cream in a container and store in the freezer until ready to use.
Chocolate cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup kefir
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Prepare muffin tins by lining them with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar, beating until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Then add vanilla extract.
Gradually add dry ingredients and kefir to the butter mixture, mixing alternately until a homogeneous dough is obtained. Do not overmix to avoid overworking the dough.
Finally, add the chocolate chips and stir gently to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling them 2/3 full.
Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 20—25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer comes out clean when you insert it into the middle of the cupcake.
Once baked, cool the cupcakes on a wire rack in the pans for 5 to 10 minutes, then carefully remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
Serve chocolate cupcakes with milk, coffee or tea if desired.
