I want to replace the coffee to make chocolate icecream, for my niece, how can i do this and what kind of chocolate should i buy? thanks

You could try making a ganache with 1/2 cup heavy cream and 7 ounces of quality, semi-sweet chocolate (58%) chopped very fine as shown in Step 1 of this video. Set the ganache aside while you make the anglaise.

Once the anglaise is done, add it to the ganache and whisk to evenly combine. Strain the entire mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl and cool the mixture down over an ice bath.

You need to make sure to continually stir and scrape the sides of the bowl when the mixture is over the ice bath so the chocolate does not harden and create little bits. These bits can make the ice cream gritty when you go to churn it. But you need to make sure the mixture is cold before you churn it. Cheers!

Just made my first batch of vanilla ice cream using a vanilla bean and this ice cream was delicious. My husband couldn't stop raving about it. I can't wait to make another flavor tomorrow night. The instructional video and text version are so detailed and easy to follow.

is it possible to do this with whole eggs, or at least some whole and some yolks? I am planning to make this in bulk and It would kill me to throw out forty egg whites :P

This particular recipe is based on a French custard (anglaise). The fat and emulsifiers/proteins in the egg yolks hold moisture and interfere with the formulation of ice crystals, which gives the ice cream an incredible silky texture once frozen. I would be hesitant to substitute whole eggs. You can definitely try it, but you cannot expect to get the same creamy result.

Pastry kitchens never ever throw out egg whites. If they can't go through them, they freeze them for use in other products. Here's a good site that lists many ways to use leftover egg whites.

If you don't want to use egg yolks, you can make a Philadelphia-style ice cream. These types of ice cream do not contain any eggs. Cheers!

I am just going to freeze them (I can do that, right?) and then brush up on my soufflé skills hahaha. I will check the website out and see what I can do with them. Perhaps I can try sponge cakes?

Yes, just freeze the amounts you'll think you'll use for the next recipe in individual containers. Thaw them fully in the refrigerator before using. Cheers!
