How to make Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Coating
-
Heat the milk
First, add 480ml of unsweetened fresh milk, 100gr of sugar, and 95gr of powdered milk into a pot. Use a whisk to stir well until the powdered milk dissolves somewhat.
Next, place the pot on the stove and heat the milk mixture over low heat.
While heating, continuously stir with the whisk to prevent the ingredients from settling at the bottom of the pot.
Dissolve 18gr of cornstarch in 60ml of unsweetened fresh milk.
When the milk starts to simmer, stir the milk with the whisk while gradually pouring the cornstarch mixture into the pot until it’s all added.
Continue stirring for about 3 – 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly, then turn off the heat.
After that, immediately pour the milk mixture into a cup so that it will be easier to pour into the mold later!
-
Dissolve the vanilla
Add 5gr of vanilla extract to the warm milk from step 1.
Stir well to combine the milk and vanilla.
Let the vanilla milk mixture sit outside until it cools completely.
-
Pouring into molds, freezing
When the milk is cooled, pour the milk into the molds in turn, cover them, and freeze for 4 – 6 hours.
-
Making the chocolate coating
Boil a small pot of water. Then, chop the dark chocolate and place it in a glass bowl. Next, place the bowl of chocolate into the pot of boiling water and stir until the chocolate melts.
Pour the melted chocolate into a taller glass than your ice cream sticks for easier dipping!
Once the ice cream has been frozen, take the ice cream out of the molds and dip each ice cream stick into the chocolate.
After the chocolate has evenly coated the ice cream, gently shake the chocolate-covered vanilla ice cream stick. Rest the ice cream stick on the rim of the glass to let the excess chocolate drip into the glass.
Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 30 seconds so the chocolate can set. After covering all the sticks with chocolate, place all the ice cream in the refrigerator to store and enjoy later!

What is cocoa powder? Distinguishing cocoa powder and chocolate powder
- Cocoa powder is produced from chocolate liquor and then the cocoa butter is removed, so cocoa powder usually has a dark brown color, a slightly sour taste, and when tasted, it feels bitter.
- Chocolate powder is a mixture of cocoa powder and cocoa butter, so it usually has a lighter brown color, sometimes black or white depending on the type.
- The characteristic taste of cocoa is bitter and slightly sour, while chocolate depends on the ratio of sugar and milk, but it usually has a sweet or very light bitter taste.
