Making your own Double Chocolate Ice Cream can be a fun and rewarding process. Here are the simple steps you need to follow:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and granulated sugar until well blended.

2. Add Milk: Pour in the whole milk, whisking until the cocoa and sugar are entirely dissolved.

3. Stir in Cream: Add the heavy cream to the mixture and stir until fully combined. This mixture should be smooth and creamy.

4. Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.

5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks gently until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

6. Chill the Mixture: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

7. Churn the Ice Cream: Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for churning, usually around 20-25 minutes.

8. Freeze: After churning, transfer the ice cream to a suitable container. Cover it and place it in the freezer for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up.

9. Serve: Once the ice cream is solid, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy!
