Stracciatella

Ingredients

• 01500ml whole milk
• 02200ml heavy cream
• 03140g caster sugar
• 043 egg yolks
• 051 tsp vanilla extract
• 06100g dark chocolate (70%), finely chopped
• 071 tbsp neutral oil

Method

1. 1

   Make a classic custard: whisk yolks with sugar, heat milk and cream, temper together, and cook until thickened.

2. 2

   Add vanilla extract, strain, and chill the base completely.

3. 3

   Churn the custard in an ice cream maker for 25 minutes.

4. 4

   Melt dark chocolate with neutral oil until smooth and pourable. Let it cool slightly.

5. 5

   In the last 2 minutes of churning, drizzle the melted chocolate in a thin stream — it will solidify into fine shards.

6. 6

   Transfer to a container and freeze for 2 hours before serving.
