This is hands down the best chocolate ice cream! EASY too! The nuts I used tasted a bit off, but the ice cream was amazing! I can hardly wait to make it Rocky Road with pecans and marshmallows! Thank you so much for sharing! -
Very good ice cream. Straining the custard mixture before adding it to the chocolate is a good step. -
This is absolutely delicious, rich and creamy ice cream. I patiently roasted the macadamia nuts until they were fragrant, then made the chocolate custard. I don't have a thermometer that will go as low as the specified temperature, so I cooked the mixture until it was thickened, but had not boiled. Then, after a thorough cooling, I put it in the ice cream machine. I didn't measure the amount, but think the recipe yielded a bit less than 3 cups. Thank you for the recipe.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
