Yields ~4-6 servings
Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups Whole Milk

1 1/2 cups chopped chocolate of choice (I use milk chocolate)
Instructions
1. Heat the Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, cocoa, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium until the mixture is steaming and the sugar is fully dissolved, just beginning to simmer (do not boil).

Cover and refrigerate until very cold.

Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20–25 minutes). Add chopped chocolate with 5 minutes left of the churn.

Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
5. Serve
Scoop and enjoy!
