Mocha Noir Dream Ice Cream – A Dark Decadence of Coffee & Chocolate Splendor

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, brewed coffee, sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir until the cocoa powder and sugar are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and mix well.
Chill the Mixture:

For the best results, refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This ensures a smoother texture once churned.
Churn the Ice Cream:

Once the mixture is well-chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, this takes about 20-25 minutes, depending on your ice cream maker.
Add Chocolate Chips:

In the last 5 minutes of churning, add the mini chocolate chips (if using) to incorporate them into the ice cream.
Freeze to Firm Up:

After churning, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
Serve:

Scoop the Mocha Noir Dream Ice Cream into bowls or cones, and enjoy the decadent combination of coffee and chocolate!
