See that fudge?

If you have been reading this blog, you will note that I have quite a lot of entries for ice cream.  This is because it is summer, and we relish something chilling and refreshing when we feel as though we were living inside an oven on hyper-drive.  Though of course we never like to repeat the same flavors, since it is fun to experiment a little.  I say a little because we can never branch out from our favorite ingredients.  Delectable peanut butter, chocolate morsels, cocoa powder, chocolate covered nuts, and fudge ....  We love them all in our ice cream.

This time however we were a tiny bit greedy.  I say just a tiny bit because we wanted fudge, chocolate morsels, and chocolate peanut butter cups all swirled into chocolate ice cream.  And paired with just a tiny sprinkling of chocolate chunks.  Yes, that is a lot of chocolate I know, and I can just say that the overabundance of chocolate was much appreciated.

Recipe
Chocolate Ice Cream with Peanut Butter Cups, Chocolate Chunks, Chocolate Covered Peanuts, and Fudge
1 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup turbinado sugar
1 1/2 cups 2% or whole milk
3 cups cream
3 tsps vanilla extract
4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, roughly chopped
8 oz. fudge
1/2 cup chocolate covered peanuts
1/2 cup peanut butter cups

Mix cocoa powder, sugars, milk and cream in a large bowl until sugars have fully dissolved.  Add in vanilla extract.  Cover with plastic wrap and let it refrigerate overnight.

Transfer to the ice cream maker bowl and let it churn for about 30 minutes.  About 5 minutes before the end of churning, slowly fold in the chocolate chunks, fudge, peanuts, and peanut butter cups.

Freeze and enjoy!
