Chocolate Ice Cream (JG)

Yup. We have not done this in a long time. Rotation became very busy. And then Clark and I quit the kitchen. I'm trying to get back. New knife. New recipes. All that good stuff. So I don't think I'm going to post every recipe, but then again we have been reusing some of the old ones. Hence less posting.

History:
Ice cream is fun. Ice cream is good. I have never made it. I've wanted to make it for some time... again with the lack of cooking. I thought home made ice cream would be good for starting back to school. A nice way to relax.

What you need:
11 egg yolks
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
226 grams of sugar
pinch of salt
180sh grams of 60% dark chocolate
Strainer
Ice bath
Ice cream maker

Heat half the sugar, milk, cream, and salt on the stove until maybe a slight simmer, but steam is rising. Cover and sit for about 5 minutes. Beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until pale yellowish. Temper the warm milk solution into the eggs. Continue to mix the milk into the eggs until about 1/3 of the liquid is in the egg mixture. Combine everything and heat on low-medium.... mixing continuously. Melt the chocolate on a double boil. Heat the solution slowly until when you can coat the back of a wooden spoon and run a finger through it is stays. Bad description? Sorry. Take off the heat, mix in the chocolate, and then strain into a bowl in the water bath to start to chill. Chill in the water bath for about 1 hour, then put it in the refrigerator for about 12 hours. Use the ice cream maker and then freeze.

Enjoy.
