Ingredients

  • oz bittersweet chocolate unsweetened finely chopped (not )
  • tablespoons cornstarch 
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 
  • 0.3 cup sugar 
  • cups milk whole

Equipment

  • bowl
  • sauce pan
  • whisk
  • sieve
  • wax paper
  • ice cream machine

Directions

  1. Bring 2 1/4 cups milk just to a boil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat. While milk is heating, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, salt, and 1/4 cup (cold) milk in a bowl until smooth, then whisk into boiling milk and bring to a boil over moderate heat, whisking. Boil, whisking frequently, 3 minutes (mixture will be very thick).
  2. Remove from heat.
  3. Bring remaining 1/2 cup (cold) milk just to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat.
  4. Pour hot milk over chocolate in a bowl and let stand until chocolate is melted, about 1 minute, then whisk until smooth. Stir into cornstarch-milk mixture and force through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool slightly, stirring frequently to prevent a skin from forming, then cover surface with wax paper and chill until cold, at least 1 1/2 hours.
  5. Freeze mixture in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and freeze until hardened, about 3 hours.
  6. Let soften 5 minutes before serving.
