• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup heavy or whipping cream
• 1 tspn vanilla
• 1 pinch salt

3. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more.
4. Add the cream, vanilla and salt and whisk to blend.
5. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1-3 hours, depending on your refrigerator.
6. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
7. VARIATION: for 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.
