Total Time 4 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar, or brown sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, neutral flavor

Instructions

  • Combine the cream, milk, and sugar in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the salt.
  • When the cream mixture is hot but not boiling, gradually whisk about 3/4 cup into the egg yolks. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and continue cooking and stirring until the custard reaches about 170 F to 175 F.
  • Place a mesh strainer over a bowl. Strain the hot custard mixture into the bowl and then whisk in the vanilla extract. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Or set the bowl in an ice bath and keep replenishing the ice until the custard reaches 40 F.
  • Churn the custard mixture in an ice cream freezer following the manufacturer's instructions.
  • About 5 to 10 minutes before the ice cream is finished churning, prepare the chocolate. Melt the chocolate in a pan or heat-safe bowl over simmering water. Stir in the vegetable oil and let it cool a bit.
  • Slowly drizzle the slightly cooled chocolate into the churning ice cream. The chocolate will harden and break up into "chips" as it blends into the ice cream.
  • Pack the chocolate chip ice cream into a container and store in the freezer.
