Our challenge for this week of Sunday Slow Scoopers is 'Chocolate'... any chocolate! 'The Perfect Scoop' is full of chocolate ice creams, sorbets, and gelatos. We have had a time choosing the one perfect scoop for the week. Bill wanted the Chocolate-Peanut Butter Ice Cream, I wanted to try the Chocolate Raspberry...
Guess who won.
Chocolate-Raspberry Ice Cream
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
5 Tbs unsweetened dutched cocoa powder
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
Whisk together the cream, cocoa, and sugar in a large saucepan. Heat the mixture until it comes to a full boil. Remove from the heat and add the raspberries. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Puree the mixture in a blender. You may press the mixture through a mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Freeze in the ice cream maker.

I like the texture of the berries~ so I didn't dirty the blender and just squished my raspberries. I also skipped the strainer and froze my chocolate, berries and all. It was delish! The picture doesn't show the true color very well. It would be neat to paint a room this color~ raspberry brown.
I served my scoop of ice cream with a orange-raspberry tort. It was the perfect combination of chocolate, orange, and tart raspberries. I will post the recipe for the tort tomorrow.
Y'all enjoy!

Sandi-Your ice cream looks great. I love chocolate and raspberry together, so I'm sure I will be making this in the future.
I'm impatiently waiting for the torte recipe, because I love raspberries, even more if they're accompanied by chocolate!
Greetings from a major raspberry-exporting country.
Looks heavenly!
