Notes
For this Ice cream I used a semi-sweet chopped chocolate bar; I prefer the small pieces over the bigger ones from the chocolate chips. I cut them even smaller than the mini chocolate chips! You can also use a food processor instead, aiming for small pieces, not chocolate powder. Feel free to swap the semi-sweet chocolate for dark chocolate for a more intense chocolate flavor or for milk chocolate for a milder flavor instead.
Freeze the whisk and metal bowl for 10 to 15 minutes before whipping the heavy cream, this will help accelerate the process. When the fat in the cream is cold while beating, it helps in making it light and airy, and it holds better its shape.
Sometimes, cocoa powder comes lumpy, so make sure to sift it before adding it to the chocolate mixture to avoid lumps in your ice cream
Air exposure to the ice cream can cause freezer burn. To avoid it, flatten a layer of plastic wrap, or parchment paper against the ice cream mixture before covering it
