Ingredients

  • pinch kosher salt 
  • teaspoons vegetable oil 
  • 0.5 cup cup heavy whipping cream chilled
  •  vanilla pod split
  • large egg yolk 
  • 0.8 cup sugar 
  • 0.3 cup chocolate chips 
  • cups milk whole

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • whisk
  • kitchen thermometer
  • ice cream machine

Directions

  1. Place milk in a medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to a simmer, whisking often.
  2. Whisk sugar, yolks, and salt in a medium bowl until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk hot milk mixture into yolk mixture. Return to saucepan; stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens and a thermometer registers 170°F-175°F, about 5 minutes (do not boil). Strain into a medium bowl. Stir in cream. Chill custard until cold, at least 2 hours.
  3. Stir chocolate and oil in a small sauce-pan over low heat until melted; let cool.
  4. Process custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Slowly add all but 1 tsp. melted chocolate during the last 30 seconds of churning (chocolate will form small chips).
  5. Transfer to a bowl.
  6. Drizzle remaining chocolate over gelato in zigzag lines.
  7. Serve immediately.
