Sugar : Sugar adds sweetness and balances the slight bitterness of the cocoa powder.

CMC : CMC is known as Carboxymethyl Cellulose is a stabilizer that helps the ice cream to stay soft, smooth and prevent it from crystallizing.

GMS : GMS is known as Glycerol Monostearate, an emulsifier that gives the ice cream that smooth and creamy texture like store bought ones. For substitute, use fresh cream or egg yolk.

Corn starch : Cornflour helps to thicken the base of the ice cream. For substitute, use custard powder.

Cocoa powder : Cocoa powder gives the ice cream its signature rich, deep chocolate flavour and color. Use good quality unsweetened cocoa powder for intense flavour. You can also add some melted chocolate for richness.

Vanilla extract : Vanilla extract enhances the chocolate flavour and adds a warm, pleasant aroma.

Chocolate chips : Chocolate chips add texture and little bursts of chocolate flavour in every bite. You can also add chocolate chunks, chocolate shavings or brownie pieces.
