    4       oz           Unsweetened chocolate
    1       c            Milk
    2       lg           Eggs
    1       c            Sugar
    1       c            Heavy or whipping cream

    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.
