4 oz Unsweetened chocolate
1 c Milk
2 lg Eggs
1 c Sugar
1 c Heavy or whipping cream
1 t Vanilla
1 pn Salt

Ben's Chocolate Ice Cream is about as rich as they
come. The pinch of salt helps to bring out the
chocolate flavor. Melt the unsweetened chocolate in
the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling
water. 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. Makes 1 generous quart.
VARIATION: Chocolate Almond- Add 1 cup roasted whole
almonds (salted or unsalted) after the ice cream
stiffens, about 2 minutes before it is done, then
continue to freeze until the ice cream is ready.
