Homemade Ice Cream

Hot Chocolate Homemade Ice Cream

Ingredients:
Buisman Premium Hot Chocolate (Single Serving Packs) - 1

Jello Pudding (Instant) 1

Milk - 3 1/4 cups

(Note you can use half-half if you wish, or almond milk)

Strawberries - Fresh 1/2 cup (or more if you prefer)

This is a recipe I made myself, I didn't get it off the internet, I like strong flavors, not washed out tastes, thus the Buisman Premium Hot Chocolate Mix.   

Pour milk into a chilled metal bowl (just throw a few ice cubes in and let it cool it) then dump out the cubes.  Then add the Jello Pudding with 3/4 cup of powdered sugar (yes the icing sugar kind)... (or make your own with regular sugar in a blender blend until you have fine powdered sugar.  I use an immersion blender because I am too lazy to drag out that beautiful do it all mixer for baking, and because it isn't necessary, you could even do by hand.  I'm all about quick if it works well.  You can pre-chill your freezer bowl for the ice maker, but it isn't necessary.  Once you have blended pour into your ice maker freezer bowl, set up your ice maker and set to 30 minutes, the last ten minutes add in the strawberries and hot chocolate mix through your blend area.  I did mine an extra ten minutes.  
Then just pour into your freezer container and put in the deep freeze or refrigerator freezer until it's the desired hardness.  This ends up to be more of a gelato consistency, and if you want softer you can actually use a stand mixer on low for 1 minute to change the consistency.  It's all about your preference, but don't leave out the hot chocolate, that's the key ingredient.  

Let me know how you like it.  I know everyone will love it.
