Double Chocolate Ice Cream

Oxmoor House

"Excellent ice cream recipe - VERY chocolately and sure to satisfy the most intense chocolate craving you may have. They should rename this one as Fudge Ice Cream because that's exactly what it tastes like after the ice cream has a chance to solidify and really develop in the freezer. Definitely an easy recipe to make and tastes better than a lot of store bought ice creams." —jmeleeS

"Yummy! Easy to prepare. My kids loved it. My oldest asked for seconds. I used feta cheese instead of the crumbled queso fresco because that is what I had in the fridge. Would be a good salad for company because it is colorful and tasty. We enjoyed it with salmon patties." —aspiringtocook
