8 ingredients
14 steps

Ingredients

  • 23 cup freshly brewed espresso (2 espressos)
  • 13 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 34 cup sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 5 ounces chocolate chips (Toll House Dark Chocolate Morsels recommended)
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine espresso, evaporated milk, and cream in a medium saucepan and set over medium-low heat until just starting to simmer.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cup of the sugar until pale yellow.
  3. 3
    Add about a cup of the hot cream to the egg-sugar mixture and whisk thoroughly.
  4. 4
    Then pour it back into the saucepan, keep whisking, and add the rest of the sugar.
  5. 5
    Once it's all combined, stick a thermometer in and continue to cook over medium-low heat until it reaches 175 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
  6. 6
    Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla.
  7. 7
    Chill for at least two hours, or overnight.
  8. 8
    Pour into a chilled ice cream maker and start churning.
  9. 9
    While the ice cream churns, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a bowl and heat in a microwave on high for 45 seconds.
  10. 10
    Stir.
  11. 11
    If not completely melted, continue to microwave in 15-second intervals.
  12. 12
    When the ice cream is almost done, stir the melted chocolate.
  13. 13
    I recommend using a rubber spatula to help guide the chocolate out in a steady drizzle so you get nice, thin shavings that melt in your mouth!
  14. 14
    Once the chocolate is all incorporated, put the ice cream in a container and freeze until firm.
