Homemade chocolate chocolate chip ice cream is easy, creamy, and super-chocolatey... and you don't need Oompa Loompas to make it.

You don't even have to hand crank it anymore... although, I think there was a benefit to that because by the time your ice cream was frozen you had worked off the calories.

What most people don't know is that cocoa powder gives a richer, deeper chocolate flavor than melted chocolate. It really is the secret to intense flavor. Talk about your magic powders...Cocoa is it.

Hershey's Extra Dark is the cocoa of choice around here because it has more chocolate flavor as far as I am concerned.

Chocolate ice cream is my favorite. My dad always said that vanilla ice cream was like kissing your sister... and I guess I agree most of the time...

This particular homemade chocolate chocolate chip ice cream recipe is perfect for putting in ice cream cones or making into sundaes, or snuggling next to a piece of chocolate fudge cake. Like all ice cream it will have the best texture if you let it "season" overnight in the freezer. I know it will be difficult but really, you are an adult, you can do this.

I'd suggest using the mini chocolate chips because the regular sized ones get hard when frozen and they add a little too much texture for me. You can also use a chunk of good chocolate and just chop it up.

It's so good between rounds of sugar cookies as an ice cream sandwich.

Either way... make this. You will like it, I promise. You might also like this Chocolate Brownie Ice Cream!
