Our Velvety Double Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is a creamy and luscious treat made with a rich custard base from scratch. Indulge in this double chocolate delight that combines smooth dark chocolate with sweet chocolate chips.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, salt, and half of the sugar. Stir constantly until it reaches a simmer, then remove from heat.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining sugar until combined. Slowly drizzle 1/2 cup of the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking to temper the eggs.

Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the chocolate mixture. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil the mixture.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add half of the chopped dark chocolate, stirring until it is melted.

Transfer the mixture to a heatproof bowl and refrigerate for about 2 hours, until completely cooled.

Once the mixture is cold, stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.

Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's directions. After 2-3 minutes, add the remaining chopped dark chocolate to blend into the ice cream.
