Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe that is one decadent recipe. It’s almost adult it’s so good. Make this for a dinner party or family gathering and you’ll be a hit. Eat it FRESH. This kind of ice cream freezes HARD. If you have leftovers (not likely) you can freeze them in a heavy container but let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes to loosen up before you try to serve it.

Servings: Makes about a quart

Ingredients:

• 8 oz of chocolate. 70% cacao or higher. The higher the number the more bitter the chocolate is and less sugar.
• ¼ cup of strong brewed coffee, HOT (you can use decaf if you want)
• 3 cups of whipping cream
• 4 tsp of Truvia
• 3 Tbl of instant coffee granules (you can use decaf if you want)
• 4 egg yolks

Instructions:

Chop the chocolate finely. Pour that and the hot coffee into a small bowl and stir so the chocolate melts. Set aside.

Bring whipping cream and 3 tsp of the Truvia as well as the coffee granules to a boil in a heavy sauce pan over medium-high heat. Stir until coffee and Truvia dissolve. It won’t take long.

Beat the yolks and the last tsp of Truvia in a bowl until pale yellow. An electric beater set to a high speed for two minutes should do it.

Then turn the mixer on low speed and slowly add the hot cream mixture to the yolk mixture. Don’t go too fast or it can curdle.

Transfer back to the sauce pan and cook on medium heat stirring pretty much constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. You can tell it’s thick enough when it coats the back of the wooden spoon. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the chocolate mixture.

Put in your refrigerator for 2 hours to chill it.

I get out the ice cream maker as someone else cleans up the dishes. See how I got out of that work?! Ha!

Then I add the cooled mixture to the ice cream maker and follow instructions. My ice cream maker has fresh ice cream done in about 20 minutes. I serve it immediately.

Cheers,
