Luscious Mocha

Time for another bit of ice cream. I had high expectations of this one.

Tub 44:

• 250ml strong coffee (prepared as pourover with 35g ground beans and 500ml water; the remainder of the coffee was drunk later)
• 100g Lindt 85% cocoa chocolate bar (melted)
• 7 tablespoons Natvia
• 125ml low-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon Guar Gum

I put this on the "lite ice cream" setting of the Ninja Creami. That may have been a slight mistake, because the machine wobbled and it scraped the sides of the container, carving off tiny slivers of plastic.

But it was rich and delicious and creamy. Maybe it could do with a bit more sweetener, but by the time my mouth was all cold, I wasn't noticing the non-sweetness as much. I'm absolutely certain that the Lindt is at least half the reason this is so yummy. This is an ice cream to be savoured.

Definitely worth doing again. Though I've run out of Guar Gum, so I'll have to try Xanthan gum instead.
