Chocolate Ice Cream

Ingredients:

Directions:

Set up an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice cubes and water. Set aside a smaller bowl that can hold all of the ingredients.
Place the powdered milk into a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan and gradually whisk in the whole milk.
When the powdered milk is dissolved, whisk in the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then stir in the chopped chocolate and bring it to a boil again.
Pull the pan from the heat and pour the hot chocolate mixture into the reserved small bowl.
Set the bowl into the ice bath. Keep the chocolate over ice, stirring frequently, until it reaches room temperature or a bit cooler.
Churn the ice cream in an ice-cream maker following the manufacturer's directions.
Pack the ice cream into a freezer container and store in the freezer for at least 2 hours, time enough to let it firm and ripen.
