Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream
Mexican chocolate is one of my favorites; and is even better when turned into ice cream. This ice cream has a chocolatey, cinnamony, taste with a hint of spice from cayenne pepper. Once the ice cream batter is ready to be churned, it takes only 20-25 minutes in most ice cream machines before you can indulge in a couple scoops, a pint, or a quart.
