Spiced Chocolate Ice Cream (Helado de Chocolate Picante)
A no-churn Mexican-style chocolate ice cream built on the classic Oaxacan pairing of dark chocolate with warm cinnamon, a whisper of clove-forward five-spice, and a sharp pinch of black pepper for a slow, building heat behind the sweetness. Whipped cream folded through a rich condensed-milk chocolate base gives it a dense, fudgy scoop without any machine.

Instructions
1
Melt the dark chocolate gently over a double boiler or in short microwave bursts, then let it cool slightly so it doesn't seize the cream.
2
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer to soft peaks — it should hold a gentle curl but still look glossy.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the condensed milk with cocoa powder, melted chocolate, cinnamon, five-spice, cracked black pepper, salt and vanilla extract until completely smooth and glossy.
4
Fold the chocolate-condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream in three additions, cutting and folding gently to keep as much air in as possible.
5
Spoon the mixture into a small airtight freezer tub, smoothing the top, and press a layer of cling film directly onto the surface.
6
Freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm enough to scoop cleanly.
7
Scoop into chilled bowls, 2 scoops per serving, and dust with an extra pinch of cinnamon before serving.
