Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • electric ice cream maker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pkg OLD EL PASO Original Tortilla Bowls
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • 1 tsp cinnamon blended with 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate broken into small pieces
  • 1 ⅓ cup whole milk
  • 3 ounces sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • tiny pinch cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Brush OLD EL PASO tortilla bowls with melted butter, arrange on baking sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, until crisp and edges are very lightly browned.
  • Remove from oven and set aside.
  • In a heavy bottom sauce pan combine milk and chopped chocolate, heat over medium low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly while you whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick.
  • Stir the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg yolks and then pour back into the saucepan through a fine sieve.
  • Gently heat the mixture of medium low heat until it thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. It is important to stir constantly and do not allow to boil.
  • Remove from heat, add cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne whisking gently to combine. Pour mixture into a bowl, and stir occasionally while allowing it to cool completely.
  • After chocolate custard mixture is completely cooled, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, fold the whipped cream into the chocolate custard mixture until well blended.
  • Pour into ice cream maker and allow to churn for 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to container and place in the freezer until ready to serve.
  • Scoop into prepared tortilla bowls and top with extra bits of chopped chocolate

Notes

Tip: To ensure the chocolate custard mixture is sufficiently thickened, when it coats the back of a wooden spoon, if you can run your finger down the back of the spoon and the line holds, it is ready! If the line fills back in quickly, continue heating.
