Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream

4 ounces Guittard chocolate chips
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon Madagascar vanilla
1 pinch salt

Put the cream and chocolate on medium and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Let cool. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy (for about 1-2 minutes.) Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended. Add the cream, vanilla and salt and 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.

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.
