Directions

  1. Mix the cocoa, salt, and powdered sugar together, then add the vanilla sugar. Pour everything into a saucepan, add the milk, and bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring constantly. It’s important to ensure the mixture is smooth, otherwise the ice cream will be lumpy. Then, allow it to cool.
  2. Whip the cream until it forms firm peaks, then gently fold in the completely cooled chocolate milk. Pour into a container and place in the freezer.
