Best Chocolate Ice Cream

I love ice cream.  If it didn’t clog my veins I would eat nothing but ice cream until I couldn’t hold another bite.  I probably shouldn’t admit this in case my doctor (or husband, children, etc. etc.) read this and know where my true love lies.

This ice cream is really easy to make but decadently delicious.  It’s even more delicious if you have more than 3 egg yolks but that’s all I had today. This chocolate ice cream is Very Very Chocolate so unless you’re a real chocolate lover this might be too chocolatey for you.  It was perfect for me.
