Directions
-
In a heavy large saucepan, combine the whipping cream and half-and-half. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
-
Whisk in the granulated sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate and stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated.
-
In a separate bowl, have the beaten eggs ready. Gradually whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the eggs to temper them, ensuring the eggs do not scramble.
-
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture, stirring constantly.
-
Return the saucepan to medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon and leaves a clear path when your finger is drawn across it, about 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl set over a larger bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process immediately.
-
Cool the custard completely, stirring often to prevent a skin from forming. This may take 1 to 2 hours.
-
Once cool, stir the Jack Daniel's Whiskey into the custard.
-
Transfer the mixture to your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
-
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm, to allow the flavors to meld.
-
If the ice cream is frozen solid, let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
