- Why no eggs?
- This is a cream-based ice cream, fresher and whiter than custard bases.
Aero Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Bubbly chocolate texture meets creamy ice cream. This recipe uses a "Philadelphia-style" base (eggless), offering a lighter, pure cream flavor that lets the chocolate shine. Frozen aerated chocolate chunks provide a unique, crumbling crunch unlike solid chocolate chips.

Instructions
1
✓
Heat milk, cream, and sugar in a pan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Do not boil!
Tip: Sugar lowers the freezing point, keeping the ice cream scoopable.
2
✓
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and chill thoroughly (fridge for 3-4 hours).
Tip: Aging the mix is essential; warm mix makes greasy ice cream.
3
✓
Chop Aero chocolate roughly.
Tip: Keep pieces large enough to feel the bubbles.
4
✓
Churn base in machine. Add chocolate in the last few minutes when thick.
Tip: Adding too early clogs the machine.
5
✓
Transfer to container and freeze 1-2 hours to firm up.
Tip: Freshly churned ice cream is soft serve consistency; the freezer finishes it.
