Ingredients
  • 2 Cups whipping cream
  • 2 Cups half&# 226;ÂÂandâÂÂhalf
  • 1/3 cups Granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 1/2 Ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 6 Eggs, beaten to blend
  • 1/3 cups Jack Daniel's Whiskey
Directions
  1. 1
    In a heavy large saucepan, combine the whipping cream and half-and-half. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. 2
    Whisk in the granulated sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. 3
    Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate and stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture, stirring constantly.
  6. 6
    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.
  7. 7
    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.
  8. 8
    Cool the custard completely, stirring often to prevent a skin from forming. This may take 1 to 2 hours.
  9. 9
    Once cool, stir the Jack Daniel's Whiskey into the custard.
  10. 10
    Transfer the mixture to your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  11. 11
    Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm, to allow the flavors to meld.
  12. 12
    If the ice cream is frozen solid, let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
