Method
- Combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a saucepan. Whisk these ingredients together until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. A cold base churns better.
- Pour the cold base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 2 more hours before serving to allow it to firm up.

Notes
If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can pour the chilled mixture into a shallow pan and place it in the freezer. Stir vigorously every 30 minutes for about 3 hours until frozen.
