- Yields:
-
1 qt
- Serves:
- 6-8
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup raisins
- 1 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup pecan halves
- 1⁄2 cup roasted almonds, salted, whole
- 1⁄2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 1⁄3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1⁄2 cups milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream or 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
- Soak the raisins in 1 cup water overnight in the refrigerator.
- The next day, drain the raisins well and combine them with the pecans, almonds and chocolate chips in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
- Melt the unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Gradually whisk in the cocoa and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. (If the chocolate clumps or "seizes", don't worry - the milk will dissolve it). Whisk in the milk, a little at a time, and heat until blended. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and vanilla, and whisk to blend. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1 to 3 hours, depending on your refrigerator.
- Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's directions. After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the raisin mixture, then continue freezing until done. Bask in the decadence!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
As my name suggests, I am a part-time hobbit, escaping to my quiet life in the Shire whenever I can.
In reality, I am a busy student who uses cooking as therapy. I am severely gluten intolerant and mildly dairy intolerant, so most of the recipes I post/comment on will be compatible with my dietary restrictions. Still, I love to eat, and have learned that you don't have to sacrifice flavor and personality when you go gluten and dairy free. I tend to like recipes that are either real homey comfort food, or transport me to the places I've travelled to, or would like to someday visit.
I believe in eating organic, ethically raised meat and vegetables. I like to stay as close to nature as possible, eating mostly whole
foods.
