Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm that looks AMAZING! Bookmarked for our summertime!
Though I doubt I would be able to wait 5 days before I eat it… hehehe
Look so rich in chocolate, yummy!
Yum this looks so good! I would like a serve of this.. and a serve of the buttermilk pancakes with some of the strawberry compote…. perfect!!!
Looks great! I’m drooling. Can we make without ice cream maker?
I always enjoyed viewing your post with all the tutorial pictures! What a rich chocolate ice cream…..slurp……just the right thing for the hot weather here!
dark choco ice cream!
that’s my favourite among all
FiSh @ ohfishiee
Oh Nami, how was the ‘first day of school’ experience? It’s always so emotional. And we have the same Kitchen Aid in the same colour! What great ice cream although I’m not sure I could wait out the five days. Love how you styled it xx
ok, I’m in! I love this, Nami, because it doesn’t have too much cream. I’m going to give this one a try definitely…dark chocolate is GOOD for you after all!! yipee : )
Now that is some serious chocolate ice cream. I think you have just pushed the bar seriously up of what I want in a chocolate ice cream with this version. Love the step by step photos.
PS… that little silver can you used to hold the cones… did you get it at Target? I bought one just like it there.
I thought it would be a cool way to display food for my blog… now I know I was right buying it.. you used it perfectly!!!
Wow great givaway!!
Your pictures are just stunning! I usually never go for a chocolate cone but this looks too good not to try!
Looks delicious. My son is going into first grade after Labor day. He is very excited.
That’s it….I’m making chocolate ice cream!
I just got the new iphone 4 today!
5 days is an awful long time, but I trust you that it’s worth it!!
Ohh, I wish for your son a really good and fun school year Nami.
Decadent Ice cream!
Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am drooling like a baby, Nami ! You always do a great job…xx
Woah, this is seriously decedent. Yay for people like me who don’t won an ice cream maker!
Nami, your chocolate ice cream looks so rich and decadent–so glad you didn’t wait any longer to post it. I’ve been contemplating one more ice cream post before summer’s over–you just gave me the push to do it this weekend (it’s the only time I have to do it!). Wish I had some of your chocolate, though.
Great giveaways, too!
Hm… Now where can I get a ice cream maker in Malaysia…
Have tried some of your other recipes. Makes my Wife happy
This looks so deliciously sweet! I think I got some cavities reading through the recipe, hehe
Kids grow up so fast don’t they? >_<
Yum! Chocolate ice cream. =) It would be awesome to win Carolyn’s app as it’ll be useful on my many food adventures in the Bay Area.
Seriouslyyy…. this chocolate ice-cream looks the best! I would pick this one if it were in a gourmet ice-creamery! Thanks a bunch for sharing your son’s fave recipe with us
I will try this one day… without an ice-cream maker 
Happy 1st day of school to your son!!!
Yay ice cream!
Chocolate ice cream is my favourite flavour. What a fantastic recipe Nami!
Mandy
Hope the first day of school was a good one.
That ice cream looks amazing!
Oh my goodness, what a delightful ihomemade ice cream flavor! Anytime you put chocolate on your blog, I’m hooked! I must try this. Thanks for sharing, Nami! And thanks for the kind blog-visit!
Happy Back to School season to you & your family! Shared this on Google+ !
These ice cream look amazing, Nami! 5 days, huh? From the pics and your description it’s worth it! YUM!
This ice cream looks sinfully delicious!! Yes please to frozen chocolate truffles
.
Oh wow, another yummy ice cream recipe, Nami. I’m not so sure if I could wait five days without cheating on getting a scoop. Must be very exciting for your son to start school being one of the big boys now, hehe.
YUM YUM! Love the presentation. The ice cream looks so delicious and chocolaty.
I recently made CCU’s Rocky Road ice cream and thought THAT was a richly decadent chocolate variation but your addition of caramel takes it up a notch.
I love the waffle cone presentation.
I love ice cream and your looks Wonderful!! Can’t wait to try it.
Ooo sounds like a real rich choco treat! Your son must be so happy!
Mmmm lucious dark chocolate ! Off to purchase the ingredients.
I’ve never made chocolate ice cream before, so I have to try yours. It looks so delicious!
My goodness…your chocolate ice cream looks so rich and delicious. I don’t think I can wait for 5 days….haha. I think I have to make triple the amount and hopefully to have some left by the 5th day
What a way to test my patience!
This ice cream looks so rich and incredible! I love chocolate ice cream, this looks like something I have to try!!
Hope you son is having a great time in 1st grade! We started school on Tuesday here, and so far 2nd grade is going well!
This year really did fly by; I remember when you were posting about your little guy starting kindergarten! Nice job being an awesome mama and making him chocolate ice cream – it looks divine!!
Whoa…that looks like a seriously deep chocolate ice cream. I’m in! I’ll definitely try this recipe. Your son is wise…good choice.
Wow, Nami, you’re like a professional ice cream maker! All of your ice cream looks so delicious!! Especially this chocolate ice cream… the color is just so amazing! Real chocolate. mmm… I’m saving this recipe…
Waiting 5 days for this ice cream would be absolute torture. I hope you son told you beforehand lol. Good luck on first grade!
Wow–five days? David would never be able to hold off eating it for that long! What a gorgeous, chocolatey ice cream. I hope your son had a great first day at school!
Awesome giveaway! I go to school in Berkeley so this would be great for me!
You have a seriously lucky kid!! That ice cream looks absolutely amazing!
This should help looking for good food in the bay instead of browsing thru yelp or other sites forever.
What a wonderful giveaway my friend
And your chocolate ice cream looks to die for!
Stunning and full of flavour!
Cheers
Choc Chip Uru
Nami, your decdent chocolate ice cream is soooo, amazing, thick and totally droolworthy. Love the step-by-step directions and the great photos!
Just wondering why do you have to keep it in the freezer for three days before serving? Does it take days for it to gel?…I don’t think my family would be able to wait that long…LOL
Nami!!!! You are killing me with these ice cream recipes… I want to come over to your place one day so you can make me these delicious frozen treats all day…lol
Creamy chocolate ice cream? I`m sure I can find a way to devour all of this.
Darn you and your delicious, decadent, but non-vegan ice cream! =( It still looks fantastic.
you have some amazing ice-cream recipes Nami! and your photos are amazing! I could just grab one of those cones and call it dinner.
What a wonderful treat for your sweet boy! I hope both he and your daughter will have a great year! My family of chocoholics will love this, too, but I have a feeling it might get eaten before day 5.
Ooo…chocolate! I’ll have to try it! Please enter me in the contest too!
Wendy
WOAH! That IS a special (and elaborate) ice cream recipe! And so fitting! Happy 1st day of 1st grade to your son!
Even though I don’t make ice creams at home but I want to try this recipe of ice cream.
Love all the steps but I am wondering why do you have to keep it for five days after churning in ice cream maker. Wouldn’t it be ready the same day?
Good question – I assumed it helps to enhance the flavor better. According to the original recipe, the chefs spent some time to get the perfect recipe (or something like that) and this was the result. I’m sorry I don’t know the right answer for your question.
OH gosh, my daughter loves chocolate ice cream!!! This looks so delicious!
What a fantastic ice cream recipe – love the richness of the chocolate! Your photo for the ice cream cones is perfect. What a nice treat for your son! Hope your week is going well!! Pinning now!
Wowww….I’m already drooling just by looking at your ice-cream. I really love choc ice-ream and will definitely try this out!
Ok Nami, now I have to say that I must buy the ice cream machine. I found it but it’s a little bit expensive, but each tome I saw your ice cream I just closed my eyes and said, ok, one day. BUT after this chocolate ice cream, I will return to the store and buy it.
Such a rich and decadent ice cream!!!
Holy cow, Nami! After this post there won’t be any chocolate to be had for love nor money anywhere in the world. We’ll all be making this ice cream!
Was it tough to watch your baby enter first grade?
Nami, this looks so delicious and I just love chocolate, homemade chocolate ice-cream! But add the caramel and it is even better. Great recipe
going to make soon!
Nami your photos look so good in this post, you are really showing off the chocolate;-)
How exciting for your son to go to first grade- that is the big time;-)
This is a wonderful chocolate ice cream recipe and I think it’s kind of fun to wait the 5 days for a very special treat to celebrate back to school, I know my children would have loved this idea:-)
Nami, you do make the nicest looking ice-creams! I love this version, sounds so chocolatey! the caramel is a bonus ingredient!
I’ve never made ice cream before but seeing your recipe makes me want to try it out! I just bought a new ice cream maker and I think this will be the first recipe I will try. It’s perfect because my family really loves chocolate. Thank you for another yummy recipe.
So you just HAD to make another ice cream before the end of summer didn’t you?
Thanks to your son for the suggestion! From looking at the recipe, this is like a caramel chocolate ice cream. Oh MY! I’m one of those who, if given a choice between chocolate and caramel, I don’t know which one I would pick. So with this ice cream, I’m in heaven for sure! I don’t care if the weather is cooler when I get my kitchen back, I’ve got to make this before winter!
Simply gorgeous… ice-cream and photos…
Nami, have I told you that apart from sorbets I only buy dark chocolate ice-cream? Yours looks particularly chocolatey and bitter. I love it! I think you could already edit an ice-cream cookery book. You are a real expert now.
Thank you for organising one more generous giveaway!
OMG Nami, this is an ultra rich chocolate ice-cream and I can tell that it is super duper DELISH! Typing this is impossible, cause I am really craving for a scoop. Greedy me
Just so rich and decadent! How I wish you are here or okay, maybe I am in SF? I will volunteer to help clean up just so I can taste all your amazing goodies. This is what Alton Brown would say ” GOOD EATS”! Have a good rest and really missing you my friend. xoxo, Jo
I was looking for some ice-cream recipe to make for the weekend and this came up in my inbox
Yeah!
Your son is so smart to ask for this and you are pure genious for putting this together.
The ice cream looks so rich and delicious.
No I will be craving ice cream all day
I am not sure if I could wait for 5 days, I would cheated as soon as it is ready and frozen hehehe..
) I would trade my bread for your ice-cream 
)
You are becoming a ice-cream queen..my family and I would love to have you as a next door neighbor
Anyhow..it is great recipe and wonderful pictures.
Great giveaway….but i would like to give a chance to somebody else(you can be my guide when i come! )
Wow, a 5-day chocolate ice cream! It does look absolutely wonderful, so rich and creamy. But how can I be expected to resist it for 5 days?! Such torture, Nami! Love this post and I’m featuring this post in today’s Food Fetish Friday (with a link-back and attribution). I hope you have no objections…
Now this is MY kind of ice cream. O…M…G!
I’m a chocoholic too! I don’t mind to wait for more than 5 days for a good ice cream
I love chocolate. I don’t know if I can wait 5 days though to eat this ice cream. haha!
Can this be made without an ice cream maker?
I’ve been looking for a chocolate ice cream recipe because the kids have been asking me to make some. How timely your post is! Your choc ice cream looks so professionally made and I’m impressed with how many step by step photos you’ve managed to take. Looks really really yum! So does it make a difference if I eat the ice cream 1 or 5 days later? I might need to get a freezer that has a lock and key (or maybe no key!).
Oh wow, Nami! That ice-cream looks divine! I know how you said to wait 5 days to eat it, but I’m not sure I could ever wait that long!
Your son is a lucky boy!:) This homemade gourmet ice cream must be the best way to celebrate his new school year. I just love how dark the ice cream looks! Good quality chocolate is surely a must. So luscious and dreamy…BUT, I doubt I can wait for 5 days. It’d be a torture!
I would say it’s worth the wait—that looks like some deeply intense chocolate! YUM!!
Nami, just looking at this, I can tell it’s so chocolately in flavor! Can’t wait to try it =)
tomorrow is saturday, i am going to learn how to make it. that sure looks yummy!
I am not an ice cream person, Nami, but reading this and seeing the photos just left me craving for a chocolate fix, preferably ice cream. I like the intense chocolate flavour and the caramel notes. So decadent.
Thank you for visiting my blog and your lovely comments. Its an honor to get to know another superb and great foodie. The pics says it all about the ice-cream as these are so breathtaking and worth the try for a home made version.
Looks so tempting. I think I need to pull out the ice cream maker and make this for my husbands b’day in September.
Love making ice cream…never did try chocolate before because it seems a lot of work but you make it look so easy. looks so yummy
This chocolate ice cream looks amazing. So rich and chocolately! I love it! I’m usually more of a frozen yogurt girl but your recipe and pictures have me convinced. I have to try this. Soon!
I don’t think I could wait that long, lol. Your son is one smart boy. I bet you are missing him, but glad to have a few minutes to yourself. Hope you have a great weekend.
-Gina-
Your chocolate ice cream definitely looks divine! How i wish to have chocolate machine at home one day:) i love last picture, im drooling over!
Awwwww, congrats to your son starting first grade! How cute. And this ice cream – 5 days?! I totally need to plan ahead to make this because it looks amazing!
When children ask something to cook, how can you say no, even if you need to make it for 5 days. I am so happy when my little guys are asking for treats. I think they are very special moments in a childhood, I remember my cosy breakfasts and afternoon teas, and summer berries preserves-)) My mother always cooked my favorite stuff. Nice talking to you as usually, Nami!
aww, that is so cute that your son started first grade! holy cow, this ice cream is gorgeous – it looks so rich and creamy and chocolatey! i need some of this amazingness in my life!
Mmmm…this ice cream looks so rich and delicious! Wish I had a scoop right now!
Wow, looking at the list of comments, there’re so many ice-cream lovers like myself! Thank God I just had a bar of Matcha ice-cream with wafer or I’d be drooling! Congrats, u’re also holding a Giveaway. Good luck to all participants!
Nami, my mom just had fillers done on her cheeks. Hope over to Reverse The Effects Of Aging With Restylane Dermal Fillers! to check it out & let me know what you think
See u there!
I could wait 5 days for this ice creams. I am only afraid my hubby could not, hahaha. It looks amazing, very delicious pictures. And a great recipe.
きゃ～、おいしそう！アイスクリーム大好き人間としては、お子様でなくてもいますぐ食べたい！
初日の学校から帰ってきて、こんなに手の込んだ愛情たっぷりのアイスクリームで「おかえり～」って迎えてもらえたら、満面のスマイルですよね♪ まだまだ残暑厳しい日本では、見てるだけで涼しくなるレシピです。写真もすごく素敵♪
Congratulations to your son on his first year of school, how exciting. I too would have choosen chocolate ice cream to celebrate:) Apple products do make our life much better, hehe.
Nami, all of your ice cream recipes are fantastic. I hope you are having a great weekend.
What a wonderful way to celebrate a new beginning…am sure your son would have loved this treat! Yummity-yum…
wow… simply lovely… even though i don’t like ice creams… i do want to make this one without eggs and using a gourmet chocolate.
Hi nami, Its always fun to see ur delish recipes. And this icecream is just looking amazing. I am so tempted to make it on my isle some day pretty soon. Enjoy your weekend. It is looking so good with all the lovely pictures and write up as well. I have been here after a while but enjoyed scrolling through your rest of the wonderful recipes. Have a wonderful week ahead. Thanks for sharing awesome recipes.
Best Regards, Sonia !!!
Nami, your Dark Chocalate Ice Cream looks so decadent and utterly delicious, I would love to try some right away! It is quite nice to read that your son chose this kind of ice cream flavor, I love it when kids choose a more “adult” flavor and not one that is so overly sweet. – you really taught him well! Our best wishes for a terrific start to his school year!
Nami, that chocolate ice cream of yours looks so good! I doubt my family could wait for 5 days though!
Btw, I want to wish Enzo a fun-filled year in 1st grade! Cherlin will start 1st grade this Monday and I can see how excited she is too!
Hi, I love ice-cream… I make often ice-cream in summer but this year summer has been very very cold so only made one, vanilla ice-cream and it was delicious. Last year I made chocolate ice-cream, the recipe was very similar to your, only I used more milk and less cream.
I am so glad I found you blog because I want to learn more about Japanese cousine and some day I would like to go to Japan.
Ciao.
wow Nami!! This chocolate ice cream looks sooooo amazing!!! No wonder your son loves it so much! Great step-by-step pictures too for people like me who’s never made it before! haha..
I don’t think Mr. N could survive a five day wait to eat ice cream! Especially chocolate.
I hope your son’s first days of first grade went really well! 
You had me at ‘truffle.’ I can tell you right now though…there’s NO WAY I’d be able to wait 5 days. The smell of chocolate would kill me!
Hope your itty bitty’s first day at school went well!
5 days is too much to wait for my kids who are crazy about chocolate ice cream. But I love your version! It looks soooo delicious! Maybe I can hide it in the freezer and keep it a secret.
I saw these on facebook just before I lost access to the internet but not before I started drooling! I’m back online and I’m still drooling!
Good things come to those who wait and this looks so worth it. I haven’t had really good chocolate ice cream in a long time.
I love chocolates! this recipe difinitely help my cravings. tnx and a big WOW!
I LOVE the step by step photos. I am such a dum dum when it comes to making ice cream – it never comes out properly. Thanks for the great post.
Since chocolate ice-cream isn’t my favorite, I could wait for this one. It is worth the wait! Looks so good, Nami. Your photos are very tempting tonight:)Such a wonderful treat for your new 1st grader:)
That is one delicious chocolate ice cream. And I have to wait for 5 days?!? My will-power is being challenged
this chocolate ice cream looks so rich and amazing! love it!
Oh my goodness this chocolate ice cream looks INTENSE. Great minds think alike, it seems–I actually have a chocolate sorbet base chilling in the fridge right now. I’m actually using David Lebovitz’s Vegan Chocolate Sorbet recipe. I’m kind of apprehensive about how good a vegan chocolate sorbet can be. If it doesn’t work out, then I’m turning to this recipe/.
Wow, Nami!! This looks so rich and decadent!! Totally worth the wait!
You’re in a roll wit your ice cream creations, this looks so chocolatey good
Chocolate is my all time favourite ice cream flavour!
Whenever I go out if I see a good chocolate ice cream, that’s what I always go for, it’s different for my boyfriend who likes to go for fruity flavours. I think he’s weird. 
Your ice cream look ssoooo good!! I can’t wait for hotter weather around here to try this recipe out. 
this looks fabulous delicious pictures would like to enter the giveaways
YUM!!!! Love it Nami
I almost didn’t believe it when I saw an ice-cream post from you 
J/k… but this looks perfect 
This looks terrific! I had to laugh at you getting this into electronic form so you could make it from your iPad – I’m so into getting all my recipes onto my electronic devices (it’s one of the reasons I started my blog!). Really nice recipe – looks wonderful. I can certainly see why your son requested this!
I dont have an icecream machine but by God! I am making this! Looks very rich. Good things take time and I am willing to go through 5 days of icecream fasting
you make the best ice cream and thanks for the sushi tips
Nami…..this ice cream looks so rich, dark and chocolatey! I bet it was fabulous! I’ll take mine with nuts on top please! I hope your son has a wonderful school year and that you will be rewarding him with this luscious dessert often! : )
yum! 5 day ice-cream. but it’s totally worth it right?
This recipe requires patience, for sure! Sounds worth it! I’m not an ice cream eater, but I am a bonafide chocoholic! I had a tough time when I eldest started kindergarten. Then I realized that 3 hours a day was not enough time to get what I needed done! I’m having a harder time with him starting middle school. Makes college that much closer!
I never say no to chocolate ice cream and this one looks particularly appetizing! I wish I was there to enjoy it! This is such a great competition Nami!
Oh my!! How amazing does this look!!!!??????? And how in the world would I be able to wait 3 whole days before diving in? That would take a miracle!!
Holy Cats 5 days? well it sounds like it is all worth it! The ice cream looks so rich and creamy! Take care, Hugs, Terra
Cooked the Nikujaga recipe today http://justonecookbook.com/blog/recipes/nikujaga/
My wife loved it
Hi Tzu! I’m so happy your wife enjoyed Nikujaga recipe.
Thanks for letting me know!
My god… chocolate AND caramel? This would not last 5 days with me!
Finally.. an ice cream recipe that does not require the use of ice cream machine.. looks good
Flying to SF Sept. 7, this really comes in handy!
Chocolate ice cream please;) sharing is caring!!
Must. Try. Chocolate. Ice Cream.
Very nice giveaway! And i know why your son wants chocolate ice cream – this looks fabulous!!
hrmm… why do u need to freeze 3 days for it ?but oh god, it looks intensely CHOCOLATEEYYY I gotta make it!!!
Hi there. I have just found your blog via Merci Mama (also new to me), I too, like Swee San, would like to know what the purpose of the 5 days process is. Do you know? Is it to do with flavour, or texture, or both? DOes it taste like it has a swirl of caramel in it, or does this just get blended in with the chocolate flavour? I was intrigued to see that both your recipe here, and the gelato recipe (not 5 days and no cream) on Merci Mama, contain the caramel stage. I have never added this to chocolate ice cream before, hence the question. I am now going to explore your blog some more!
Original recipe didn’t say why chefs at St. John waited for a couple of days. Maybe the flavor to ripen? I’m sorry I cannot answer your question. The caramel is blended in the chocolate flavor. Thank you for checking my blog!
thanks a lot for the recipe… ^^ it’s look very delicious
Hi Camella! You’re welcome, I’m happy to hear you liked the recipe!
This ice cream looks delicious! I want that cone with pretzels on top
! Love that pic!
ohh looks really good. i normally make NQN’s no churn ice cream because it is simple and i dont hv to wait so long to eat it!
