Ingredients:

²⁄³cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup granulated sugar

¹⁄³ cup firmly packed light brown sugar

Pinch salt

1 cup whole milk

2 cups heavy cream

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. Place the cocoa, sugars and salt in a bowl; stir with a whisk to combine and remove any lumps.
2. Add the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, and whisk well to incorporate and dissolve the cocoa powder and sugars (a hand mixer comes in handy here). Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, preferably overnight.
3. Assemble the Mix It In™ Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker. Turn on and pour in the chilled base.
4. Churn until the desired serving consistency is reached, 25 to 30 minutes. If ice cream is not thick enough, pour back into the freezer bowl and continue mixing until desired consistency is reached, checking every few minutes. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture.
5. Serve in cups or cones, adding toppings while dispensing ice cream.
