Dorie’s Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream
I think Dorie Greenspan is trying to ruin my weight loss plan.
Note to self: Must call Dorie and discuss heavy cream and butter alternatives.
Kidding! Dorie is a gem. Anyone who could come up with such a decadent recipe is a gem in my book.
I made this ice cream for another TWD a few months ago- Banana Coconut Ice Cream Pie– but that recipe called for mixing banana into the ice cream. I much prefer the ice cream on its own, no mix-ins. Simple, rich and amazingly chocolatey.
I used a variety of chocolates to clean out my stash – 2 oz 60% Ghiradelli bittersweet, 3.5 oz Green & Black’s 70% dark and 1/2 oz Lake Champlain 75% dark. This stuff was no joke. Very rich. I made the hubs a little ice cream sandwich with two chocolate chip cookies and he couldn’t finish it. That’s some serious chocolate.
Excellent pick, Katrina!
And just to remind you (annoying, right?) again, my pick is next week. I hope you’ll bake with me!

It worked great with light coconut milk, which helps a little — but only a little! — on the weight-loss front.
that does look dark…and so good!
I love that little blue ice cream cup! Your ice cream looks perfect. I guess if you’ve got to clean out that chocolate stash, this is the way to go!
