Next attempt at chocolate. This one following this recipe, using xanthan gum:
As it happened, I didn’t have any vodka in the house, so I omitted the vodka/gelatine step. I used Sugar In The Raw as most of my sweetener. I also tossed in a big pinch of salt because I figure everything probably needs it.
The ice cream itself has a great, deep chocolate flavor. If I allow it to thaw a bit, it’s quite a nice creamy, almost fudgy mouthfeel. But right out of the freezer it’s still not easily scoopable unless you dip the scoop in hot water each time.
I now have some vodka, so the next batch will see if that and the gelatine make a difference.
