Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream over medium heat until it almost reaches a simmer. Do not boil!
2
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy.
3
Gradually whisk a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
4
Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly. It should coat the back of a spoon.
5
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let it cool completely.
6
Once cooled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
7
When the ice cream is almost finished churning, add the chopped dark chocolate and let the machine churn for a few more minutes to distribute evenly.
8
Transfer the finished ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until it reaches the desired consistency.
