Directions
-
In a large saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and salt over medium heat.
-
Heat the mixture, stirring frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the milk begins to steam (do not boil).
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
-
Stir in the half-and-half, vanilla extract, and whipping cream until well combined.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the liquid to prevent a skin from forming.
-
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes, or until thoroughly chilled.
-
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream freezer and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the chocolate chips so they distribute evenly throughout the ice cream.
-
Transfer the finished ice cream to a freezer-safe container.
-
Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm, before serving.
