heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Roast cocoa powder in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

In a saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, and sugar; heat over medium until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Return the mixture to the saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat; stir in roasted cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

Add espresso for depth of flavor and mix thoroughly.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until cold.

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker; churn according to manufacturer's instructions until thick and creamy.

Transfer to a container and fold in chocolate shavings.

Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
