Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs at medium speed until they become frothy and slightly pale.
  2. Gradually add the sugar to the eggs, beating continuously until the mixture is thick and smooth.
  3. Pour the half-and-half into a 3-quart saucepan and heat over low heat until it is hot but not boiling.
  4. Slowly whisk about one-fourth of the hot half-andhalf mixture into the egg and sugar mixture to temper the eggs.
  5. Stir the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot half-and-half, stirring constantly.
  6. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the custard thickens slightly and reaches 165 degrees F.
  7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the chocolate syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  8. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely chilled.
  9. Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream freezer and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  10. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and let it ripen in the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving.
