Ingredients:
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 3 large egg yolks
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
– 3 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
– 2 tablespoons milk chocolate spread
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Custard Base
In a medium saucepan, warm the milk and heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and thick.

2. Temper the Eggs
Slowly pour the warmed milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly (it should coat the back of a spoon).

3. Add Chocolate, Salt, and Vanilla
Remove the custard from heat and add the cocoa powder, chopped milk chocolate, milk chocolate spread, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

4. Chill the Mixture
Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. Churn the Ice Cream
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. My Kenwood ice cream maker took about 20-25 minutes to get it to a creamy, smooth consistency.

6. Freeze for Later
Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and smooth out the top. Cover and freeze for at least 3 hours or until firm.

Serving

Serve in a glass or bowl with chocolate shavings or a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top for extra flair. Enjoy every creamy, chocolatey, and slightly salted scoop.

The hint of salt and vanilla brings out the richness of the chocolate even more. Give this recipe a try and enjoy the enhanced, complex flavors!
