Ingredients

Instructions

  • Freeze the bowl of an ice cream maker overnight.
  • Pour the milk into a small pot and place over medium heat.  
  • Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, cocoas, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • When the milk is hot and steamy, and there are small bubbles forming around the edges, slowly dribble it into the egg mixture while whisking, to warm the yolks.
  • When all the milk has been added, transfer the mixture back to the pot, add the melted chocolate, and continue to cook over low heat, until the mixture has thickened slightly.  
  • Strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a heat-safe bowl.
  • Stir in the cream and vanilla.
  • Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Churn the ice cream base in a chilled ice cream maker until it's the consistency  of soft-serve.  
  • Transfer to a loaf pan, cover, and freeze until hard.
