[Thoughts Before Bed]

"Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind." --The Doctor

This week's Heat Wave Special #1 - Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream!

The last time I made this, I didn't like it. But it was because I used regular cocoa instead of dutch process cocoa (I lost a like for cocoa flavored stuff after I started hormones for some reason). This time, it's gonna be GOOD, cause I love dark chocolate.

I'm glad I tasted it before I froze it, because it was completely not sweet at all. I think I mislabelled evaporated milk as condensced milk, so I added some sugar. Always taste your custards before you freeze them. Just in case :)

There may have been a little itty bitty accident when making the dark chocolate ice cream. Just a little bit.

Never stick things into a mixer on full blast with the whisk setting. It will whisk anything you put in there. 😃

The more I see headlines like this, the more I feel like this is a Doctor Who "Doesn't she look tired?" moment.
