In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until small bubbles form around the edges. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped semisweet chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and salt, stirring to combine.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Transfer the churned chocolate ice to an airtight container. Press a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade chocolate ice!
