Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by separating the 4 eggs. Place the yolks in a saucepan. Reserve the egg whites for a different use.
-
To the saucepan with the egg yolks, add 120 grams of sugar and 200 ml of milk. Stir the mixture constantly to ensure everything combines well.
-
Once the mixture is well-mixed, transfer it to the refrigerator and allow it to cool for a bit.
-
In a separate large bowl, take 360 ml of cream and use an electric mixer to whip it until it becomes thick and fluffy.
-
Now, combine the cooled egg mixture with the whipped cream. Be sure to gently fold the two together until they are fully incorporated.
-
Next, grate 30 grams of chocolate and add it to the mixture. Give it a good stir to evenly distribute the chocolate throughout.
-
Take your 8 ice cream molds and carefully pour the mixture into each mold. Insert a wooden stick into each mold, ensuring it stands upright.
-
Place the molds in the refrigerator and let them chill for approximately 3 hours. This will allow the mixture to set and become firm.
-
While the ice cream molds are chilling, it's time to prepare the chocolate coating. Take 300 grams of chocolate and melt it in the microwave. To ensure a smooth consistency, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well.
-
Once the ice cream has set, remove the molds from the refrigerator. Gently dip each ice cream mold into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
-
Finally, return the chocolate-covered ice cream molds to the refrigerator for a short while, allowing the chocolate to set and create a delicious, crunchy shell.
-
And there you have it! Your delightful chocolate-covered ice cream treats are now ready to be enjoyed. Indulge yourself and savor every bite.
