Recipe for Ben's Chocolate Ice Cream

Instructions:
Ben's Chocolate Ice Cream is about as rich as they come.
The pinch of salt helps to bring out the chocolate flavor.
Melt the unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling water.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth.
Remove from the heat and let cool.
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light anf fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more.
Add the cream, vanilla and salt and whisk to blend.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend.
Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1-3 hours, depending on your refrigerator.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
Makes 1 generous quart.
VARIATION: Chocolate Almond- Add 1 cup roasted whole almonds (salted or unsalted) after the ice cream stiffens, about 2 minutes before it is done, then continue to freeze until the ice cream is ready.
