Velvety Chocolate Ice Cream
Makes around 1 pint

2 egg yolks

Melt chocolate in double boiler. Set aside.
Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, and salt until smooth. Then heat slowly till it looks like liquid pudding. Gradually whisk milk mixture into still-warmed chocolate mixture. Keep whisking until smooth. Cool well.
