Chocolate, almond and amaretto - what could make a better combination? All blended together to make the most indulgent of ice creams.
Delicious and addictive too. Don't make this too often or the hips may well get the hump LOL. But, for the occasional treat it's so satisfying. To make you feel less guilty, serve this up to guests. Not only will they love you for it, but there will be less for you to dive into. Or maybe just eat the whole lot in secret. There are no rules, just enjoy any way you like.
Chocolate, Almond & Amaretto Ice Cream
4 egg yolks
125g caster sugar
125g chocolate, broken into small pieces (at least 70%)
300ml almond milk
300ml double cream
2 tbsp amaretto
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Put egg yolks & sugar into a bowl and whisk together until light in colour.
Heat the milk, chocolate and amaretto in a pan, DO NOT BOIL. Once chocolate has completely melted add a little to the egg yolk mixture and stir to blend well, then pour in the remainder and stir well.
Pour back into saucepan and heat gently, stirring, until the froth disappears and mixture coats the back of a spoon. Again, DO NOT BOIL.
Leave to cool then stir in the cream & vanilla extract.
Use an ice cream maker (as per manufacturers instructions) or.....
Pour into a container and freeze for 3 hours. Tip into a bowl and mash to break down ice crystals. Return to container and freeze another 2 hours. Mash again & freeze a minimum of 2 hours again before serving.

Sounds divine. I like the addition of almond milk and amaretto, just my thing. Must make this.
I like how there's instructions for all of us who have no ice cream maker. But I think I should buy one, what with summer coming and all. This looks great!

OMGoodness!!! You've incorporated two of my favorite flavors in this incredible ice cream =)) Can't wait to try!!! Thanks for sharing =))
Hi SCK, hope you enjoy it's deliciousness too; pls come back & let me know, thanks.
My kids have been asking for chocolate ice cream and this one looks so yummy! When it comes to ice cream, I tend to pick fruity flavor (and I'm a big chocolate fan... not sure why!). I've never used Amaretto before, but just Googled and see what it is. Hope I can find it!
Hi Nami, I'm sure you've discovered by now that Amaretto is a liquer, but when making for the kids just leave out (not as good) but still delicious, enjoy.
yummy looking homemade dessert

Hi Subhie, thanks for following and leaving a lovely comment, off to visit you now.
To Anonymous,
I have not posted your comments due to the rude nature and the fact you insisted in shouting!
However, thanks for bringing to my attention regarding the amaretto. Unfortunately I had written the quantity incorrect and have now changed it to the correct 2tbsp.
With regards to the sweetness. As with all recipes you should adjust to taste just like salt & pepper in savoury recipes. I like it with this sweetness.
Try it again, with less sugar maybe.
It looks delicious!
