Step 1: Prepare the Ice Cream Base

• Gather your ingredients:
  • 700 grams (3 cups) heavy cream
  • 400 grams (2 cups) sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
• Mix the ingredients:
  • In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and sugar over low heat.
  • Stir occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. Avoid boiling the cream.
  • Once dissolved, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
• Chill the mixture:
  • Transfer the mixture back into a measuring cup.
  • Divide it evenly between two freezer-safe containers for the two flavors.

Step 2: Create the Chocolate Flavor

• Make a cocoa paste:
  • In a separate bowl, combine 40 grams (1/3 cup) cocoa powder with 4 to 5 tablespoons of the cream mixture.
  • Stir to create a paste, ensuring there are no lumps.
• Combine the flavors:
  • Add the cocoa paste to one container of the chilled cream base.
  • Whisk until well combined.
  • Optional: Strain the mixture to remove any cocoa lumps.

Step 3: Chill and Whip the Mixture

• Cool the mixtures:
  • Cover both containers and refrigerate for about 2 hours until they are very cold.
• Whip the cream:
  • Using a mixer, whip the chilled mixtures until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
• Cover and freeze:
  • Press parchment paper directly onto the surface of the ice creams to maintain freshness.
  • Seal with lids and freeze for 10 to 12 hours, or overnight.

Step 4: Prepare for Piping

• Get your piping bag ready:
  • Use a sturdy piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  • Optionally, double the piping bag for extra sturdiness.
• Create a dual flavor piping bag:
  • Lay out plastic wrap and spread the vanilla ice cream on one side.
  • Next to it, place the chocolate ice cream.
  • Fold the plastic wrap over the ice creams and twist the ends to secure.
  • Cut an opening to fit into the piping bag.

Step 5: Serve Your Soft Serve Ice Cream

• Pipe the ice cream:
  • Remove the piping bag from the freezer and pipe the ice cream into cones.
  • The ice cream will maintain a soft texture, making it easy to create swirls or layers.
• Enjoy your homemade soft serve!
