Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream
Katrina of Baking and Boys picked Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream. The lone woman in a houseful of boys, Katrina has her hands full, yet she always manages to cook up some tasty treats.
When I first saw this recipe pick, I had mixed feelings. None of us really like chocolate ice cream because it usually tastes artificial and doesn't have a real chocolate flavor or texture, so I was hoping that this wouldn't be a waste of time, ingredients, and freezer space. But I was also excited, hoping that this recipe would be the one to change our minds since Dorie has had more hits than misses with our family. And with this recipe, Dorie succeeds again. We all liked the smooth creamy texture and deep, true chocolate flavor. Everyone practically licked their bowls clean, and the remaining ice cream was gone in record time. I know that this ice cream will be reappearing as the summer days get hotter, and that says a lot coming from a bunch of people who "don't like" chocolate ice cream!
This ice cream has a few simple ingredients and is very easy to customize. Add some nuts, chocolate chunks, and marshmallows for Rocky Road, or crushed candies or cookies for your own special treat. Whatever you do, you will definitely enjoy this creamy, chocolatey ice cream.
Thanks for a great pick Katrina. If you want the recipe for this excellent ice cream stop by Baking with Boys and Katrina will have the recipe for you, along with her special take on the recipe. If you want to see what the other TWD bakers made visit our blog roll.

Ahh, Mimi, yes, I'm a lone woman here and playing around in the kitchen is my sanity!
Thanks for trying the ice cream when you aren't really chocolate ice cream people. I discovered that as much of a chocoholic as I am, I prefer vanilla ice cream.
That said, I loved this ice cream.
Thanks for churning along with me this week.
Yeah to the winners! Yeah to your chocolate ice cream. Glad you made the recipe even if you were not feeling the love for it .
A couple of weeks ago, I had a real hankering for chocolate ice cream, which is unusual craving for me. We made a chocolate cherry ice cream and it was delicious.
Wow- chocolate ganache ice cream sounds like a wonderful and decadent treat! It looks extremely creamy.
Yum! I can't wait to try the dressings- thanks so much!
I do love chocolate ice cream-it's one of my favorites, with coffee being the other. Yours looks fabulous. I want to scoop it right off of my computer screen!
That's so chocolatey....would be perfect with my double chocolate cookies! :D
I love how customizable this ice cream is. And the fact that it won the approval of your family who doesn't usually like chocolate ice cream is huge! I'm sold. :)
Congrats to the winners and that is some great looking ice cream!
I agree that chocolate ice cream can sometimes be kind of a let-down... But chocolate ganache will never let you down!!! This may inspire me to add a chocolate recipe -- it looks absolutely fantastically wonderful! Great pic!
Your ice cream looks delicious, Mimi. That would disappear around here in a heartbeat. And thanks so much for randomly generating my number so I win the salad dressing! How fun is that.
what a winning texture! it's just calling out for some broken up andes mints...if you ask me. :)
I like chocolate but chocolate ice cream is not my favorite. When, I do have it, I usually add some strawberry sauce but this ice cream, needs nothing. It is rich and creamy and delicious.
I know, I have said this before......you make every recipe look stunning. Another one - right here.
This ice cream looks perfectly luscious and wonderful!
Chocolate ganache ice cream sounds too good for words! My kids would be gaga over this for sure!
Toda una delicia y unas fotos espectaculares.
Besos.
Great looking ice cream! Have to keep that recipe for my next visit from the grandchildren. I went to visit Katrina(I raised 4 sons, so I know).
Rita
Wow!!!! This chocolate ganache icecream looks so luscious!!!!! Am drooling :-)
What a great ice cream recipe! I usually opt to make something other than chocolate but I love the way the texture looks here. Using ganache is a terrific idea.
Congrats to the lucky winners.
Ouah t'as boule de glace est magnifique!
Merci beaucoup pour ton passage sur mon blog! :')
Bise & Bonne journée
That ice cream looks heavenly!!!

the words chocolate ganache would have made me try the recipe so I am glad you did!
Mimi,
I just love the photos of your post today. Yummy...plus I adore anything chocolate.
Maureen
wow you always make the best ice cream yum
How fun! I can't wait to try the dressings. It'll be a great excuse to try your fabulous salad recipes. Thanks!
The ice cream looks perfect - smooth, creamy and delicious!
I love chocolate ganache - making it into ice cream is my idea of heaven! What a treat.
You had me at ganache. The ice cream looks incredible!! Perfect on a hot summer day!
Your ice cream looks terrific! We're not big on store-bought chocolate ice cream either (even the premium brands aren't that great!), so this was a welcome recipe to add to the repertoire.
oh boy does this ice cream look wonderful. chocolate is my true favorite flavor of ice cream and since i haven't made it yet (only vanilla and strawberry and peach have been made at home), i'll def'ly make this one. thank you so much! roz
That chocolate ice cream looks so good right now, I can't even tell you! Especially after eating canned peaches with whip cream. It just doesn't compare.
I received my coupon from Girard yesterday. I am looking forward to using that coupon.
This ice cream look OH SO GOOD!
