What is it about ice cream that makes us all feel so good? Ice cream calms me down when I'm stressed, and of course, it's also delicious! For simple flavors like vanilla, you can buy good ice cream at the store. But if you're in the mood for chocolate, you can't get the same rich, decadent chocolate flavor from store-bought ice cream that you can by making it yourself. For this recipe, I use really good imported milk chocolate and cocoa powder, plus a splash of Cognac and vanilla to take down the sweetness. And of course, crushed Oreos make everything better, right? This is my perfect make-ahead summer party dessert!
