Ingredients
  

  • 3 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the chocolate with the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and milk. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is hot and sugar has dissolved. Do not let the mixture boil.
  • Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and then whisk in about 1 cup of the hot mixture. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and continue cooking over low heat, stirring, until the mixture coats a spoon or reaches a temperature of about 170 F to 180 F. Cover and chill thoroughly.
  • Freeze the chilled custard in an ice cream freezer, following the manufacturer's directions.
  • Pack the ice cream into a container; cover and freeze.
