Chocolate Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 cup 1% milk
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa and sugars. Add the milk and, using a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk, beat to combine until the cocoa and sugars are dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or overnight.
2. Put mixture in a 1 1/2-quart ice-cream maker and mix according to the manufacturer's directions. The ice cream should have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours.
