- Sugar - 5.6 oz
- Chocolate shavings - 0.9 oz
Step by Step guide
Step 1
In a pot, combine the milk and cream. Place over medium heat and heat until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks, gradually adding the sugar. Continue whisking until the mixture turns a pale yellow and has a soft, creamy texture.
Step 3
As soon as the milk mixture comes to a boil, remove it from the heat. Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly. While stirring, keep the whisk upright; otherwise, bubbles will form on the surface of the future ice cream.
Step 4
Pour the resulting mixture back into the pot, place it over medium heat, and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens. While stirring, make sure to scrape the edges and the bottom center of the pot, as the mixture may burn. Do not allow it to boil. The cream is ready when it reaches the consistency of liquid sour cream. Remove the cream from the heat.
Step 5
Place the cream over a cold water bath. To do this, fill a large bowl halfway with very cold water and ice cubes. Set a saucepan with the cream on top of it. Stir the cream occasionally for about 30–40 minutes, until it cools down. This stirring will prevent ice crystallization.
Step 6
Remove the pot with the ice cream from the water bath, cover it tightly with a lid, and place it in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours to chill further.
Step 7
After the time is up, take the ice cream out of the refrigerator and transfer it to an ice cream maker. Churn for 20–40 minutes. In the last minute of churning, add the chocolate shavings. At the end of the churning process, the mixture will resemble soft-serve ice cream. Fill a container with the mixture and place it in the freezer for 3–4 hours until fully set.
Step 8
If you don't have an ice cream maker, immediately transfer the chilled mixture into a container, add the chocolate chips, stir, and place it in the freezer. Take the container out and stir the contents every half hour until it sets.
