Directions

1

Put the cream and milk into a pan and heat until tiny bubbles form at the edge of the pan. Add the chopped up chocolate and stir until it dissolves. Whisk the eggs until light and fluffy, then add the sugar to them. Add salt and vanilla to the eggs and sugar. Once the eggs and sugar are ready, bring the chocolate mixture back up to just below scalding and then pour it into the eggs. Refrigerate the mix until it is cooled again then run it through the ice cream maker. Once it has frozen to soft-serve texture, quickly fold in the pastry rocks. Let set in the freezer for at least 8 hours.
