Frozen Chocolate Tiramisu Ice Cream

Treat yourself to the rich flavors of tiramisu with a frozen twist! This rich and creamy ice cream has espresso, cocoa, and ladyfinger cookies, which are all traditional parts of tiramisu. It also has semisweet chocolate chips, which add an extra layer of decadence.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup brewed espresso, cooled
• 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur optional
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 ounces ladyfinger cookies, chopped
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, chopped
• 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese

Instructions:

Over medium heat, stir the heavy cream, milk, and sugar in a saucepan until they are just beginning to simmer

Whisk the egg yolks in a different bowl until they are pale

To temper the eggs, slowly whisk in about a cup of the hot cream mixture

While stirring all the time, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream mixture

After you add the espresso and cocoa powder, cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture gets a little thicker

Take the pan off the heat and add the coffee liqueur and vanilla extract

Wait until it's cool enough to touch

After the mixture has cooled, put it in an ice cream maker and churn it according to the machine's directions

Add the chocolate chips, mascarpone cheese, and chopped ladyfinger cookies in the last few minutes of churning

Move the churned ice cream to a container that can go in the freezer

Cover it and freeze it for at least 4 hours or overnight, until it is firm
