 One of the tricks to making chocolate ice cream is getting the chocolate to


 melt and mix with the milk properly. The only way I've found is the


 following. Melt the chocolate over low heat. At the same time, warm the


 milk over low heat in a separate pan. When the chocolate has melted, stir


 in a little bit of the milk. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Add some more


 milk and again stir until mixed. If the recipe calls for cocoa powder, mix


 in a little after stirring in the milk. Repeat until mix is mostly liquid.


 At this point, add the remaining milk.


 


 The problem I often have is that no matter how careful I am, bits of


 unmelted chocolate will remain at the end. I have given up trying to get


 rid of these, and I instead strain them out of the mixture. You can leave


 them in if you like, although the bits will taste awful if you have used


 unsweetened chocolate.


 


 One alternative is to heat the chocolate and cream together. When chocolate


 partially melted, stir in cocoa powder. This is much easier than the above


 method, and works okay, but there will be more bits of unmelted chocolate


 in the mixture.
