Homemade Choco Bar Ice Cream Recipe

For Vanilla Ice Cream

• Step 1: Add fresh cream to a saucepot and bring it to a quick boil. Then add Nestlé MILKMAID and cook for a while. Switch off the flame and add vanilla essence and crushed cookies. Mix well.
• Step 2: Pour the prepared mixture into an ice tray and freeze it for 3 to 4 hours, or until fully set.

For Chocolate Coating

• Step 1: Add dark chocolate and oil to a bowl, then microwave for 30 seconds until melted or melt using a double boiler.
• Step 2: With the help of a stick, dip the prepared ice cream bar into the melted chocolate and garnish with chopped almonds and chocolate sprinklers.
• Step 3: Serve cold.

Tip: Ensure the Choco Bar Ice Cream ingredients like cream and MILKMAID are chilled before mixing. This helps achieve a smoother, creamier texture and ensures the ice cream sets perfectly when frozen.

Tips to Make Choco Bar Ice Cream

• Opt for good-quality dark chocolate for a rich and smooth Choco Bar Ice Cream. Couverture chocolate works best for a glossy finish.
• As given in the Choco Bar Ice Cream recipe, add oil or butter while microwaving the chocolate for the perfect dipping consistency. The added fat prevents the chocolate from setting too hard, ensuring a smoother coating.
• Insert popsicle sticks before freezing the Choco Bar Ice Cream mixture to make dipping easier and mess-free.
• Dip the frozen bars into the chocolate quickly to ensure an even coating before the chocolate hardens.
• After dipping, lay the Choco Bar Ice Cream on parchment paper and freeze for an additional hour before transferring it to an airtight container to keep it fresh.
• If your Choco Bar Ice Cream melts too quickly, try Ranveer Brar's tip: soak a small amount of agar agar (china grass) and mix it into the ice cream base to help it stay firm. Use approximately 5 grams of agar agar per 1 litre of mixture.
