Espresso Chocolate Chip
Real espresso, fine chocolate shavings folded in after the spin.
10 min prep · 24h freeze 4 pints easy
Strong espresso concentrate gives real coffee flavor, not coffee-extract sweetness. Cold-snap chopped dark chocolate after the spin = pinpoint chip texture.
Smooth & scoopable
Balanced base. Freeze 24h, then spin on the matching program.
