Chocolate Gelato
Recipe courtesy Edison Mays

Ingredients
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped

8 ounces granulated sugar
10 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 ounces sweet dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions
Place whole milk, heavy cream, and vanilla bean and
seeds in a sauce pot and scald. Remove vanilla bean. Whip the granulated sugar and
egg yolks to a pale yellow ribbon state. Your sugar and egg yolks should be nice
and fluffy. Add about a 1/2 cup of your scalded cream to your chopped chocolate
in a bowl. Stir until melted. Place the bowl over a double boiler of barely
simmering water. Set up a second double boiler. Constantly stirring with a wooden
spoon, add scalded cream to your whipped egg and sugar mixture. Place egg and
cream mixture over the double boiler and cook custard until it becomes thick and
creamy. See Cook's Note.

Once custard is cooked, place the bowl over a cold water bath to cool. Gradually
add your melted chocolate. Once custard is cool place in an ice cream machine and
run as per manufacturer's instructions. Enjoy the love.

Cook's Note: It is recommended that the custard not be heated over 140 degrees F.
