I’m heading to Spain for a week, so I promised my husband and son I’d make some ice cream before I left. Tiny G got to pick the flavor: chocolate. Since I had a few discs of Mexican chocolate left over from the turkey mole trials, I took a little poetic license. This recipe for Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream from Gourmet is awesome.

Mexican chocolate has granulated sugar and a bit of cinnamon in it and, adding some vanilla bean, turns out a killer ice cream. Tiny G helped me stir, so the spoon was his to lick. I’m totally in love with this ice cream, but not as much as this little guy.
