Peppermint Bark Ice Cream
1/2 cup cocoa powder (dutch processed with alkali)
1/2 cup sugar
4 oz dark chocolate
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups whole milk
1 carton of Häagen-Dazs® peppermint bark ice cream
Directions
01
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cocoa powder, sugar, chocolate and salt.
02
In a medium sized saucepan on medium heat, bring milk to a near scalding boil.
03
Pour milk immediately over the bowl of cocoa, sugar, chocolate and salt. Allow it to sit for 1 minute.
04
Whisk slowly to combine. Continue whisking until mixture is evenly combined and silky smooth. You can always pass it through a fine mesh strainer if you're worried there are lumps.
05
Pour hot chocolate evenly into mugs, scoop Häagen-Dazs® peppermint bark ice cream on top. Optional: garnish with a candy cane or peppermint stick.
06
Tricks of the trade: make the hot chocolate in a huge batch so all you have to do is heat and serve. Invest in quality cocoa powder and chocolate if you can – it will make a world of difference in the taste and texture of your hot cocoa. Use skim or 2 percent milk in place of whole milk if you prefer.
