Made without eggs, this cool chocolate ice cream is still so rich and creamy.
Summer hit us hard! We went straight to often showers, salads for breakfast, lunch and dinner, tomatoes, cheese, watermelon, plenty of lemonade and a lot of … yes, you guessed it, ice cream! But not the store bought kind! I vowed to myself to make my own ice cream this year. And I took the first step one week ago by buying a proper ice cream machine. Needless to say that my son was the happiest little man in the world! His long waited ice cream machine to make his favorite summer dessert – chocolate ice cream! Now that’s a great way to start the summer! Happy, joyful, ice cream full!
This eggless chocolate ice cream has surprised me. I’ve never liked chocolate ice cream. I would eat chocolate as it is or in cakes or cupcakes or other desserts, but never ice cream. And yet, I found myself scooping out one more serving of this particular one. I didn’t have high hopes from a recipe that has 3 main ingredients and no eggs, but I was wrong as the ice cream proved to be soft, without any ice crystals, incredibly creamy and with a balanced chocolate taste. So the recipe passed the test from this super picky ice cream girl!

I am a self-taught baker and pastry-school graduate and I have an affinity for food. But I especially love baking, taking pictures, exploring dessert cookbooks, entremets and writing. I focus on creative desserts and baking techniques that are aimed to both novices and experts in the kitchen and I truly believe that being a pastry chef is not about looking for innovative ways of making desserts, but about learning the basic techniques and then combining them into new, original desserts, relying on textures and flavors.
