Double boiler cooking

Neenoon · 07-15-2007, 03:50 PM

I've started making home made ice cream and ran into some problems.

I've made the custard like base using a double boiler to avoid sticking, and when making vanilla ice cream it went perfectly. When I tried to make chocolate ice cream, it took forever for the chocolate to melt, and I couldn't bring it to a boil no matter how high or how long I cooked it.

The batch was completely un-useable, I had to throw it away.

Any one can help me with this?

I did make another batch in a regular pan and it did stick but the ice cream is delicious!

Thanks for any inputs on this.

Melt the chocolate separately. Make the vanilla icecream then add the melted chocolate
