Recipe: Chocolate Ice Cream 2

4 oz unsweetened chocolate (I used Ghirardelli)
1 1/4 cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup cream
1 pinch salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk

Melt chocolate over low heat while heating milk over low heat. Gradually stir milk into melted chocolate. If you don't stir milk in gradually, chocolate will clump and you will have difficulty breaking it down. If you stir milk in gradually, chocolate will clump, but you'll be able to break it down when you add a little more milk. Heat while stirring until smooth. Mixture will become thick. Beat sugar into eggs. Stir in hot chocolate/milk mixture into eggs. Add cream, salt, vanilla, and extra 1/2 cup milk. Cool. Freeze in ice cream maker.
