overnight. Whisk mixture together again before
pouring into the ice cream maker.
5. Turn on the Cuisinart
®
ice cream maker; pour the
mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until
thickened, about 20 minutes. When the ice cream is
almost fully churned, gradually add the crushed
cookies through the top of the ice cream maker; let
mix until fully combined.

firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream
to an airtight container and place in freezer for
about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15

Mexican-Style Chocolate Ice Cream
This ice cream can be spicy for some, so adjust the
cayenne to your personal taste.
Makes about 5 cups (about ten, ½-cup servings)
2
cups whole milk
1½
cups heavy cream
2
⁄
3
cup granulated sugar, divided
1½
teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1
teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 to 2
pinches cayenne
Pinch kosher salt
5
large egg yolks
6
ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly
chopped (about 1 cup chips)
1. In a medium saucepan set over medium/medium-
low heat, whisk together the milk, cream, vanilla
extract, spices, and the salt and ½ of the sugar.
Bring the mixture just to a boil.
2. While the milk/cream mixture is heating, combine
the yolks and remaining sugar in a medium bowl.
Using a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk, beat
until mixture is pale and thick.
3. Place the chopped chocolate in a separate mixing
bowl; reserve.
4. Once the milk/cream mixture has come to a slight
boil, whisk about
1
⁄
3
of the hot mixture into the yolk/
sugar mixture. Add another
1
⁄
3
of the mixture, then
return the combined mixture to the saucepan. Using
a wooden spoon, stir the mixture constantly over
low heat until it thickens slightly and coats the back
of the spoon. This mixture must NOT boil or the
yolks will overcook – the process should take about
10 minutes, depending on the type of pan and stove
being used.
5. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into
the bowl of the reserved chocolate; whisk until
chocolate is fully melted and mixture is well
combined and then bring to room temperature.
Cover and refrigerate a minimum of 2 hours,
preferably overnight. Whisk mixture together again
before pouring into the ice cream maker.
