6-8 hours of waiting period is involved to make firm Ice cream.
In place of cocoa powder, melted chocolate can be added.
If desired, cream can be whipped until soft peak but I do not notice any big difference in end result so I just add without whipping.
If using Chocolate chip, melt chocolate chip in the microwave or double boiler method and mix with other ingredients and freeze.
