Nuclear Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe

Heat milk sugar cocoa powder espresso powder and salt in a saucepan over medium heat stirring often until milk is barely simmering.

Beat egg yolks in a bowl; gradually stir in about 1/2 cup hot milk mixture. Beat until smooth. Transfer egg yolk mixture back to the saucepan and continue cooking and stirring until thickened about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals stirring after each melting for 1 to 3 minutes.

Remove saucepan from heat and stir melted chocolate into milk-egg mixture; transfer mixture to a large bowl cover and refrigerate until well-chilled 4 hours to overnight.

Stir cream and vanilla extract into chilled chocolate mixture and pour into an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches \soft-serve\ consistency. Transfer ice cream to a lidded container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results ice cream should be placed in the freezer at least 2 hours or overnight.
