I Scream You Scream We All Scream For Ice Cream

I Scream You Scream We all Scream For Ice Cream. Today, July 7 is a day to celebrate Chocolate Ice Cream. Chocolate is one of the favorite flavors of Ice Cream. The first ice cream flavors are thought to be fruit based but both vanilla and chocolate were quite common during the 18th century. We may have Thomas Jefferson to thank for bring Chocolate Ice Cream to United States after having tasted it in France

4 (1-ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
4 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 stick) butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 large eggs
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 t. salt


Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Grease 12 muffin tins. Melt the chocolates and butter in the microwave, or in a double boiler. Add the flour and sugar to chocolate mixture. Stir in the eggs and yolks until smooth. Stir in the vanilla.. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tins. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. The edges should be firm but the center will be runny. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto dessert plates. Serve with chocolate syrup or hot fudge drizzeled plates, a scoop of ice cream and a sliced strawberry! Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
