Here's my current favourite recipe ...
Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Ice Cream
INGREDIENTS:
4 squares (1 ounce size) unsweetened chocolate
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
PREPARATION:
Melt the chocolate over low heat. Gradually whisk in the milk and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more.
Add the cream, vanilla and salt and whisk to blend. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend.
Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1-3 hours, depending on your refrigerator. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
If you don't have a machine, place in suitable container in freezer.
Leave for 10 minutes, then stir well.
Repeat every 10 minute until frozen.
