Chocolate Ice Cream
Chocolate ice cream is a delicious and refreshing dessert, loved by both adults and children, and truly indispensable for cooling down on hot summer evenings.
Chocolate ice cream is a testament to how a few carefully measured and respected ingredients can create a perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness. Its fresh and creamy base is enriched with the intense aroma of dark cocoa and dark chocolate, while carob flour adds a refined note that sets it apart. It's a comforting dessert, suitable for any occasion, but especially welcome when the heat calls for a refreshing treat without sacrificing flavor.

Instructions
- 1
To prepare the chocolate ice cream, first make the syrup. In a saucepan, pour the water and gradually add the sugar. Heat the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 85°; as soon as the first bubbles appear, you can turn off the heat. Pour it into a baking dish and let it cool.

At this point, weigh 270 g of syrup and transfer it to a larger saucepan. Add the milk and the egg yolks.
