  Ben's Chocolate Ice Cream is about as rich as they
  come. The pinch of salt helps to bring out the
  chocolate flavor.
   1. Melt the unsweetened chocolate in the top of a
  double boiler over hot, not boiling water. Gradually
  whisk in the milk and heat, stirring constantly, until
  smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.
   2. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light anf
  fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a
  time, then continue whisking until completely blended,
  about 1 minute more. Add the cream, vanilla and salt
  and whisk to blend.
   3. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture
  and blend. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1-3
  hours, depending on your refrigerator 4. Transfer the
  mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the
  manufacturer's instructions. Makes 1 generous quart.
  
  VARIATION: Chocolate Almond- Add 1 cup roasted whole
  almonds (salted or unsalted) after the ice cream
  stiffens, about 2 minutes before it is done, then
  continue to freeze until the ice cream is ready.
