Chocolate Ice Cream

Pour milk in a pot and bring to a boil (stir often to prevent it from burning on the bottom). While the milk is heating, beat the egg yolks and the sugar in a bowl, until the mixture becomes smooth and whiter. Pour the boiling milk on the mixture. Put the mixture in a pot over low heat, and stir constantly. When the mixture becomes slightly thicker, remove immediately from the heat (before boiling; if you have a thermometer, don't let the mixture go above 70 C / 158 F). Just after removing from the heat, add the chocolate bar (cut up in small chunks), and keep stirring until all the chocolate is completely melted.

Let the mixture cool to room temperature; add the whipping cream, and put in your favourite ice-cream maker.
