Description
Toasted pecans and sweetened coconut are swirled throughout this rich, sweet German chocolate ice cream recipe made with Baker's sweet German chocolate.
Ingredients
•
3 cups milk
•
1 1/2 cups white sugar
•
6 ounces German sweet chocolate
•
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
2 large eggs, beaten
•
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
•
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Directions
1
Heat milk, sugar, chocolate, flour, and salt in a saucepan over low heat; cook until chocolate melts, stirring occasionally. Stir about ½ cup hot chocolate mixture into beaten eggs, then stir into the saucepan. Increase heat to medium; continue cooking and stirring until mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer chocolate custard to a bowl.
2
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract.
3
Pour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency according to manufacturer's instructions. Stir in pecans and coconut. Transfer to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours to overnight.
