Do you remember your Grandma or Momma making homemade ice cream? Cuisinart Stainless Steel ice cream maker makes old-fashioned ice cream super simple in our modern world. I’m certain you’ll be head over heels for the simplistic chocolate chip ice cream. It’s a basic French vanilla ice cream and I added some semi-sweet chocolate chips. Feel free to get creative and add whatever you want. Perhaps some cut up pieces of peanut butter snickers bars?! Oh, that would be so yummy! 
Chocolate Chip ice cream
Homemade Chocolate Chip Ice cream is super simple to make with only a few ingredients.
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat combine the heavy cream and milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks. Set aside.
- Remove the milk and heavy cream mixture from the heat. Pour in about 1 cup of the hot liquid to the egg and sugar mixture. Whisk together quickly. When combined well, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the hot milk and cream. Stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly over medium to low heat until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Transfer to a large bowl, add the vanilla and stir in. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic wrap directly on the custard mixture. Chill completely.
- Follow the directions on your ice cream machine. Add the chocolate chips at the last few minutes while the ice cream churns in the machine. Pour into a freezer safe plastic container and allow to set for 2-3 hours.
We always make ice cream in our family at reunions, this looks like a perfect recipe for our next gathering!
