  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Before you start, make sure you have all your ingredients measured out and ready.

  6. Melt the chocolate: Remove from heat and add the finely chopped semisweet chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  7. Chill the mixture: Let come to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Ice cream maker time: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  9. Freeze to firm up: Transfer churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for a few hours.

Notes

For variations, consider adding mint extract, nuts, or coffee for different flavor profiles.
