Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Ice Cream

From Ben and Jerry themselves :) 

came out super creamy and delicious!!

Ingredients

2  ounces  unsweetened chocolate

1/3  cup  unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2  cups  milk

2  large  eggs

1  cup  sugar

1  cup  heavy cream, or whipping cream

1  teaspoon  vanilla extract

Technique
Melt the unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water.  Gradually whisk in the cocoa and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. (If the chocolate clumps , don't worry - the milk will dissolve it).  Whisk in the milk, a little at a time, and heat until blended.  Remove from the heat and let cool.  Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.  Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more.  Pour in the cream and vanilla, and whisk to blend.  Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend.  Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1 to 3 hours, depending on your refrigerator.  Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's directions.  Makes 1 quart. Buon appetito!
