Perfect chocolate ice cream! Just came home from an ice cream party and this was just delicious! I used 3 oz of Scharffen Berger extra dark chocolate. I started grating it but that took too long to do so I put it in my Cuisanart and got it as fine as I could, I added it to the custard over a very low heat and continued to stir until it was completely melted. This eliminated the tiny pieces of chocolate some reviewers didn't like. Of course if you want pieces of chocolate just follow the orininal recipe. I also refrigerated the mixture overnight before putting into the ice cream maker.If you like soft serve ice cream you can eat it immediately from your ice cream maker. I froze mine in a stainless steel container so we could make nice scoops for our sundaes. It was realllllly good!
