Preparation Steps
1
Zest the orange, then juice it and set aside.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, sugar, and cocoa powder. Heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
3
Add the finely chopped dark chocolate and stir until completely melted and smooth.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a little of the hot chocolate mixture to temper the eggs, whisking constantly.
5
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
6
Remove from heat and stir in the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Let cool to room temperature.
7
Pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until creamy.
8
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
9
Once the ice cream is completely frozen (after about 4-5 hours of freezing), serve garnished with fresh orange zest or chocolate shavings.
