Chocolate icecream

I'd like to point out that you don't need a machine to make icecream, just whip the mixture up, pour it into a freezeable tub, pop it into the freezer and mix it by hand every hour to break up the crystals etc. Hard work but it's still nice end result. :)

Anywho, here's a simple chocolate icecream recipe I tried today, which came with my machine.
This made 1lt, so next time I am doubling the ingredients to get a decent 2lt amount. One just isn't enough in this house!

1 cup unsweetend cocoa powder
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups full cream milk
3 1/4 cup Double cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Place the cocoa and sugars in a mixing bowl, stir to combine. Add the milk and whisk to combine until the cocoa and sugar has dissolved. Stir in the cream and vanilla.
Turn the machine on and pour mixture in.
Transfer to a freezeable container when done, to firm up some more. I found it quite soft, but I think my bowl wasn't completely frozen. (I'm impatient!) :)

This icecream is very decadent.
