Notes
Use high-quality ingredients - For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Quality cream, eggs and chocolate will make this simple ice cream taste phenomenal.
Chill the cream - Make sure the cream is chilled before you start beating it. This will help it beat faster and give you a better texture.
Beat the egg whites well - It's important to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help create a light and fluffy ice cream.
Freeze overnight if you can - It's best to freeze the ice cream overnight for a firmer texture. If you're in a rush, 5-6 hours will do, but for best results, let it freeze overnight.
