Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Pint Ice Cream
Great chocolate ice cream. Like unicorns, it's typically a myth. We want to believe, but typically, it's just...sadness. Not anymore, kids. Welcome to this trifecta of Guittard cocoa, house-made chocolate ganache, and our melted, bittersweet chocolate chip. Believe it.
