Ingredients

2 cups of whole milk

1 cup whipping cream

1 cup of sugar

4 egg yolks

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (below my recommendation)

150 grams of dark chocolate

1 tablespoon butter

Edible gold in flakes or powder. Below I recommend one in powder and another in eyelets:

Preparation

1. In a saucepan, heat the milk and cream over medium heat until it begins to boil. Remove from heat and reserve.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until foamy and light in color.
3. Pour the milk and cream mixture over the beaten yolks, stirring constantly to integrate all the ingredients.
4. Wash the pot and pour the mixture back into it. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
5. Remove the pot from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Mix well and divide the mixture into two equal parts in separate containers.
6. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, taking care not to burn it. Add the butter to the melted chocolate and mix until smooth and shiny.
7. Add the melted chocolate to one part of the ice cream mixture, mixing vigorously so that it is completely integrated.
8. Let both mixtures cool in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, so that they become consistent.
9. Once the mixtures are very cold, remove the chocolate mixture from the refrigerator and pour it into the container of the ice cream maker. Follow your machine’s instructions to obtain the desired consistency. Here I recommend this ice cream machine or refrigerator that is absolutely great:

10. While the machine is running, add the edible gold flakes little by little so that they are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream.
11. Repeat the process with the vanilla mixture, making sure the gold flakes are mixed evenly into the ice cream.
12. Once both mixtures are ready, serve them in alternating layers in an ice cream container, creating a marbled effect with the chocolate and vanilla.
13. Decorate the top of the ice cream with an extra touch of edible gold flakes to enhance its presentation.
14. Enjoy this luxurious chocolate and vanilla ice cream with a touch of edible gold with your loved ones or in a special moment for yourself!

I hope you enjoy this delicious recipe! The touch of edible gold will give a special shine to this dessert, turning it into a true work of culinary art.

Ice cream preparation

Let’s start with the preparation of the ice cream. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until almost boiling. Remove from heat and reserve.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is light and creamy. Slowly add the milk and cream mixture, continuing to beat, to temper the yolks.

Return everything to the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.

Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely cool.

Chocolate preparation

While the ice cream is cooling, prepare the chocolate. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Add the butter and melt everything in a double boiler, stirring constantly until smooth and shiny.

Remove from the heat and let the chocolate cool slightly, but make sure it is still liquid enough to work with.

Ice cream assembly

Once the ice cream is very cold, remove it from the refrigerator and transfer it to an ice cream maker. Process according to manufacturer’s instructions until ice cream has a smooth, creamy texture.

Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 more hours, or until completely firm.

Now is the time to add the special touch. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and place a layer in a bowl or mold. Pour the melted chocolate over the surface and carefully scatter the edible gold flakes.

Repeat with alternating layers of ice cream and chocolate until you have used all the ice cream and chocolate. Cover and return to the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until completely frozen.

Ready to serve!

Your delicious chocolate and vanilla ice cream with edible gold is ready! Take it out of the freezer a few minutes before serving so that it softens slightly. Cut generous portions and enjoy this incredibly creamy and elegant dessert.

Remember that you can customize the recipe to your liking. If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, you can increase the amount of dark chocolate used. If you want a sweeter touch, you can add a little more sugar. Creativity is the key to making this ice cream your favorite dessert!

I hope this recipe has inspired you to create a unique and delicious dessert. Enjoy every bite of this ice cream with a touch of luxury!
