In aniticpation of the first day of summer, I decided it was time to pull out the ice cream maker. I decided to try a new recipe that involved heating the ingredients over the stove (I'm trying to get more and more advanced with my ice cream making skills). I made a chocolate ice cream that was very simple, even with the heating and cooling. Then mixed it up in my ice cream maker and added crushed up Tim Tams (an Australian cookie) during the last 5 minutes. Just before serving I added a caramel swirl. The ice cream was delicious and the perfect treat to kick-off the summer! If you want to try your own home-made ice cream check out my Three Fruit Ice Cream recipe. It is a family favorite and perfect on a hot summer day!

½ cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
¼ cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
½ cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt

1. Whisk together the half-and-half, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture, whisking frequently, until it comes to a full, rolling boil (it will start to foam up).
2. Chill mixture thoroughly, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions. Fold in any treat your heart desires when it has finished churning (or in the last few minutes of churning).
