Chocolate Mascarpone Ice Cream
Posted on August 9, 2012
I love chocolate no matter the season. I never leave myself without dark chocolate somewhere in the fridge for whenever I am craving for some.
As this hot summer is asking for refreshing and cooling treats I've been searching for a way to create a rich chocolate ice cream that doesn't need an ice cream maker and also not to need to break up the crystals every half an hour.
So I finally had the idea of using Mascarpone cheese in my recipe which makes the ice cream more rich and creamy and that was exactly what I was looking for.
The result is an incredible rich and chocolatey refreshing ice cream, irresistible to true chocolate lovers.

Directions
1. Melt 150 g of chocolate over bain marie. Chop 60 g of dark chocolate and set aside.
2. Place the eggs and sugar in a heatproof bowl. Place over a saucepan of simmering water and, using a hand-held electric mixer, beat for 6–8 minutes or until thick and pale. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. 
3. Mix in the mascarpone into the egg mixture. Fold the melted chocolate until well combined.
