Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Ice Cream
Ready in: 2-5 hrs 
Difficulty: 3/5
INGREDIENTS:
4 squares (1 ounce size) unsweetened chocolate
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
DIRECTIONS:
Melt the chocolate over low heat. 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.
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.

Better than most store bought brands. Excellent chocolate-y taste! Melt the chocolate in a saucepan with the milk in the first step (be patient and keep whisking, it will melt smoothly eventually). I like to cook the eggs, so I added the cream mixture to the saucepan with the chocolate and milk and whisked and cooked the mixture to make sure the eggs were heated enough. Then refrigerated for 3 hours. Then put in the ice cream maker and an hour later enjoyed excellent choco ice cream, yummmy!

I agree that the instructions are a little screwy. I just moved the first instruction to after the third (...and salt and whisk to blend). Makes more sense, the eggs get cooked a little, and the result is fantastic! Also, melt the chocolate in a double boiler and then add.

Yum! The missing "melt the chocolate" part of the recipe aside, this recipe was fairly simple. The result was super delicious!

What I did when I made this recipe the first time, I melted the chocolate together with the milk and followed as directed. Very good ice cream!! We ate it all in about 2 days!!!

This recipe has a few problems--instructions do not include when to melt the chocolate. I assumed it was done first, then mixed in with the milk at beginning--these two did not mix well, but I finally got it. Also,the eggs are not cooked at all--I found that unsafe. I ended up cooking the eggs, sugar & cream mixture over low heat for about 7 minutes. It took longer to cool off, so give yourself extra time. End result was very yummy!

Eevening. Can someone please explain the term 'unsweetened chocolate' for a reader from England. Ove here we have 'drinking chocolate powder' which is sweet or 'cocoa powder' which is unseweetened or bars of chocolate which all contain sugar. What should I be using? Any help with a translation would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is written very oddly and doesn't work as posted, so I fixed it below. Also agree with poster who suggested double boiler (you can fake this with an elevated small saucepan inside a larger saucepan in which you heat the water. Finally, I added a pinch of instant coffee, which enhances the chocolate flavor without adding more sweetness.
