This ice cream is really easy to make but decadently delicious. It’s even more delicious if you have more than 3 egg yolks but that’s all I had today. This chocolate ice cream is Very Very Chocolate so unless you’re a real chocolate lover this might be too chocolatey for you. It was perfect for me.
