Ingredients

Directions

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