Earl Grey chocolate ice cream

Ingredients for approx. 1 liter of ice cream

For the ice cream

  • 200 g dark chocolate
    1 tbsp. cocoa
    1 tbsp. Earl Grey tea (loose) plus more for sprinkling
    250 g milk
    150 g sugar
    4 tbsp. Mozart Cream Chocolate Liqueur plus more to serve (optional)
    6 egg yolks
    Pulp of half a vanilla bean
    1 pinch of salt
    500 g whipping cream
  • Decorative petals or waffles to add

Preparation

For the ice cream, add the chocolate and milk to a saucepan and melt over a very low heat while stirring. Add sugar, Mozart White Chocolate, egg yolks, vanilla and salt and heat gently, stirring constantly, until the cream gradually begins to thicken after approx. 10-15 minutes. Put the whipping cream in a bowl and add the warm cream; this will stop the cooking process immediately. Mix everything well and let it sit in the fridge for 2–3 hours.

Strain the cooled cream through a sieve, collect and make into ice cream in the ice cream machine. Scoop chocolate ice cream into glasses, sprinkle with some tea, add a decorative petal or waffle and enjoy immediately. Pour over 1-2 tbsp. of Mozart Cream Chocolate if desired
