This homemade ice cream recipe is so-o-o good. Using this recipe, you can also create a traditional German 3-layer Ice Cream Torte.

Below the basic chocolate ice cream recipe, you'll find the recipe for a 3-layer Ice Cream Torte.

It'll take a bit longer -- it uses three times the basic recipe -- so you'll have a good sized torte for yourself and company. Leftovers are  easily stored in the freezer.

I think you'll agree this is a special dessert.

If you've never made ice cream, or thought you needed a special ice cream maker, this recipe teaches you an easy way how to make ice cream.

All you need is a freezer to freeze this ice cream - no special tools.
