Equipment

  • Ice cream maker

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 coarsely chopped chocolate-covered almonds
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs*
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • In a bowl, toss together the coarsely chopped chocolates, pecans, walnuts, and chocolate-covered almonds. Tuck it in the freezer.
  • Warm the unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water, until melted or warm it in a bowl in the microwave on 50% for about 1 minute or longer, as needed.
  • Whisk in the milk, a little at a time, and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs with a stand mixer or by hand until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes if using a stand mixer or 3 to 4 minutes if using a whisk.
  • Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, and continue whisking until it's completely incorporated, about 1 minute more. Add the cream, vanilla, and salt and whisk to blend.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until cold, preferably at least 8 hours.
  • Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
  • After the ice cream thickens and about 2 minutes before it's done churning, dump in the chocolate and nuts. Continue processing until the ice cream is ready.
  • Serve it soft, straight from the maker, or if you prefer your ice cream harder, transfer it to a resealable container and freeze for at least 1 hour.
