This ben and jerry’s chocolate ice cream recipe is so good!! I love to make homemade ice cream. This is actually the first time I have ever made chocolate. This is fudgy and velvety, luscious best describes this ice cream.
I actually have a Ben and Jerry’s ice cream recipe book which I got this recipe from. I have tried many of the recipes and they are great! Here’s a link for the recipe book: https://amzn.to/3iszWuG. It’s a really inexpensive book but has some great ice cream recipes.

Homemade ice cream obviously for those my age brings back memories of the hand crank machine. Ice, ice cream salt….all required. I remember my dad making ice cream and when it got almost ready, dad would put a towel over the ice cream maker and we’d sit on it to help in turning I guess. Wow! wonderful memories.
These days I use an attachment for my Kitchenaid. I’ve had it for a long time but they just keep on. My 91 year old mother actually has a Kitchenaid that was my Grandmother’s and it still works great. I have a Kitchenaid Professional. All of the mixer’s come with the ability to add attachments. That’s where the ice cream making with my Kitchenaid comes in because I have the attachment. If you will look, you’ll see this mixer go on sale and try to grab one when you can. Here’s a link for a great price and a great mixer: http://awesome homemade ben and jerry’s chocolate ice cream
