Hands-On Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes, not including chilling & churning | Makes 1 quart
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate
- 1/4 cup chopped pecan halves
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup halved chocolate-covered almonds
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
- 1. Combine the coarsely chopped chocolates, pecans, walnuts, and chocolate-covered almonds in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
- 2. Melt the unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Whisk in the milk, a little at a time, and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- 3. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about minute more. Add the cream, vanilla, and salt and whisk to blend.
- 4. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1 to 3 hours, depending on your refrigerator.
- 5. Transfer the cream mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- 6. After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the chocolate and nuts, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready.
