  • 2 1/2 cups Half & Half
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

  • 2 whole Egg Yolks
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • With a mixer combine eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and cocoa. Beat for 3 minutes, stopping to scrape bowl once. Mixture should be thick and smooth.

At this point add in the chocolate chips and let them melt in to the mixture.  Whisk over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until ice cream mix base becomes thick like pudding. Don not stop whisking. Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to a freezer safe carton, place in refrigerator until completely cool.
