Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups pasteurized goat’s milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3.5 oz dark chocolate (chopped)
- 5 egg yolks
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (¼ cup + ½ cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Simmer the Base
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine goat’s milk, heavy cream, ¼ cup sugar, and chopped dark chocolate. Heat over medium, stirring, until chocolate melts and the mixture simmers. Remove from heat.
Temper the Yolks
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with the remaining ½ cup sugar. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the eggs, then add another cup. Pour yolk mixture back into the pot.
Thicken the Custard
- Return to medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil. Strain the custard into a clean bowl.
Chill the Mixture
- Cool the custard completely in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. Stir occasionally to prevent skin from forming.
Churn the Ice Cream
- Once fully chilled, pour the custard into your ice cream machine. Churn for 20–25 minutes or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Freeze & Serve
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container, cover with parchment or plastic wrap, and freeze 2–4 hours before serving.
