4 Foolproof Ways to Make
Classic Chocolate Ice Cream

What makes this a Classic Chocolate Ice Cream is the use of both real chocolate and cocoa powder- chocolate bring depth and roundness, while cocoa adds intensity and that familiar, full chocolate flavour we all recognise. 

Used together, they create a balanced, rich ice cream that tastes unmistakably chocolatey, without heaviness, or excess sweetness.

• Plain & perfect • This easy version uses the fewest ingredients, and relies on some extra heavy cream as the key to its rich, creamy texture. (Also known as “Philadelphia-style,” but it does not contain cream cheese.)

Ingredients: chocolate, cocoa powder, milk, heavy cream, and sugar.

• The all-time classic • A classic custard-based recipe with egg yolks for a rich and velvety consistency. A tad bit tricky to make, but so worth it. Also, our winter favourite, for its rich and cosy mouthfeel.

Ingredients: chocolate, cocoa powder, milk, heavy cream, sugar, and egg yolks.

• Our Favourite • Inspired by Sicilian ice cream, we use cornstarch to thicken the base while keeping it light in heavy cream.

Ingredients: chocolate, cocoa powder, milk, heavy cream, sugar, and cornstarch.

• Our signature ice cream • A modern approach using a small amount of xanthan gum for a smooth, stable gelato texture. Simple to master and effortless to repeat — once you’ve made it, you’ll never need another recipe again.

Ingredients: chocolate, cocoa powder, milk, cream, sugar, and xanthan gum
