Notes
- To make Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice cream, add in 1 cup of chopped chocolate, semi sweet or dark chocolate or use 1 cup of mini chocolate chips.
- If you don't want chunks of chocolate but want additional chocolate, melt your chocolate in the microwave until it is a nice drizzling consistency. Add a few drops of vegetable oil if you need it smoother. Drizzle the chocolate in a nice thin stream into the ice cream the last five minutes of churning time. You will get a nice flaky chocolate.
- To make Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream, place teaspoons of peanut butter onto a baking sheet and freeze. After putting ice cream into a freezer container add frozen peanut butter balls and swirl through the ice cream.
