I've tried the basic chocolate ice cream recipe and could never get it right because the chocolate always splits. I've learnt that you should never use anything other than a melted spoon to stir the chocolate because if the chocolate touches water, it will split. I've also learnt that chocolate buttons, having a low chocolate content, can also split after heating. In both previous attempts, I created a happy accident because the chocolate became little flecks, not unlike chocolate chips!
This time I decided to use good quality 70% cocoa dark chocolate but it still split, albeit to a much lesser extent than using chocolate buttons. I think the reason is because the chocolate hardened again. If (and when) I decide to try this recipe again, I may introduce just a bit of cream into the melted chocolate (like a ganache), still using 70% cocoa chocolate. Hopefully this may finally give me a smooth chocolatey ice cream!
