Chocolate-Coffee (Mocca) 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.

Make 1/2 cup of strong coffee (using the amount of coffee grounds you would for 1 cup of coffee), and add to the mixture. Let the mixture cool to room temperature; add the whipping cream, and put in your favourite ice-cream maker.
