How to Make Triple Chocolate Ice Cream

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chunks, and 1/4 cup unsweetened chocolate chunks. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups half-and-half over medium heat until very hot but not boiling, stirring frequently.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined.
  6. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk 4 large egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened.
  7. Gradually add the sugar-cocoa mixture to the egg yolks, mixing on low speed for about 30 seconds until well blended.
  8. Very gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and the heated half-and-half to the egg yolk mixture, mixing on low speed until well combined.
  9. Return the half-and-half mixture (from step 3) to the medium saucepan. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges and the mixture is steamy (do not boil).
  10. Transfer the cooked half-and-half mixture to a large bowl.
  11. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  12. Cover and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  13. Churn the ice cream mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  14. During the last 1-2 minutes of churning, add 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips.
  15. Immediately transfer the ice cream to airtight containers and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to harden further.
  16. Enjoy!
