Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine chopped chocolate, half-and-half, and milk in a medium saucepan.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Be careful not to scorch the mixture; remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks with salt and sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is pale.
  5. Slowly add 1/2 cup of the warm chocolate mixture to the egg yolks, whisking continuously to temper them.
  6. Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture, stirring thoroughly.
  7. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook slowly, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  9. Allow the custard to cool completely to room temperature.
  10. Pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
