There's nothing quite like a rich and creamy chocolate custard ice cream. It's the perfect dessert for any chocolate lover.

serves/makes:

ready in:
2-5 hrs

ingredients

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate, broken into pieces
2 pints light cream
2 tablespoons vanilla extract

directions

Combine the sugar, flour, and salt in a saucepan (do not put it on the heat yet). While stirring, slowly stir in the milk. Add the eggs and chocolate. Place the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and comes to a boil. Cook at a solid boil for 1 minute while stirring constantly.

Remove the pan from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Place the cooled mixture in the refrigerator and let chill until completely cold.

Combine the chilled mixture, light cream, and vanilla. Add to the the ice cream machine freezer container (it should not be filled more than 2/3rds full). Process as directed by the ice cream machine manufacturer's directions.

Store the ice cream in the freezer.
