How To Make Tiramisu Ice Cream with Chocolate Chips?

Keep in mind, our full printable recipe card is located at the bottom. But first, let’s run through our steps so you can understand how we make it before you start.

1.  Use a small saucepan, and heat milk, and heavy cream on low heat.  Add in the vanilla and stir occasionally allowing the mixture to heat through. Do Not bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat.

2.  In the meantime, in a small bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar to a creamy consistency.  Add mascarpone cheese to it and whisk again.

3.  Slowly pour only a 1/4 cup of the hot milk into the “egg yolk” mixture while whisking simultaneously.  Then slowly pour the egg yolk mixture back into the hot milk pan and whisk again.

4.  Turn the heat back on and cook the mixture on the lowest heat, stirring constantly, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the custard slightly thickens.  Stirring with a wooden spoon,  the custard will stick to the back of the wooden spoon when ready.  Be careful not to bring it to a boil or the yolk will curdle.

5.  Pour the mixture into a container or a bowl, put it on an ice bath, and place it in your refrigerator for about an hour to cool completely, or refrigerate overnight.  In the meantime, make a small cup of espresso and set it aside to cool.

6.  Once the mixture is completely chilled,  add coffee powder and espresso to the custard mixture, pour it into your ice cream maker, and follow the directions according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

7.  Finally, in the last 3 minutes while the ice cream is churning, add in the mini chocolate chips.  If your machine does not have a spout to pour in the chips, you can fold in the chips with a spatula.

8.  Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze it for an hour before serving.  When ready to serve, scoop into individual bowls and serve with one or two dark chocolate rolled wafers. Yields: 1.5 quarts
