1teaspoonchile powder(Lebovitz recommends ancho or chipotle for smokiness; I used chipotle but I wasn't a fan)
2tablespoonsbrandy
Instructions
Stir together cream, cocoa powder, and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from heat and add chocolate, stirring to combine. Once chocolate is completely melted, add the remaining ingredients. Pour into a blender and blend to make sure everything is well combined (although you could probably skip this step).
Chill the mixture well before churning in an ice cream maker.
