Fun Fact: Did you know that chocolate was first introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus after one of his voyages to the New World? The Mayans and Aztecs, who originally discovered chocolate, used it to create a bitter drink. Over time, people started adding sugar and milk to create a sweeter version, which eventually led to the creation of chocolate ice cream.

Now, let's dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:
- 1 quart of cream
- 1 pint of new milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teacup of grated chocolate (double vanilla)
- 2 cups of pulverized sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cream and new milk. Place it over medium heat and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

2. While the cream and milk mixture is heating up, separate the eggs. Place the egg yolks in a mixing bowl and set aside the egg whites for later use.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and pulverized sugar until well combined. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.

4. Once the cream and milk mixture reaches a gentle simmer, carefully pour a small amount of it into the egg yolk and sugar mixture. This is called tempering and will prevent the eggs from curdling when added to the hot liquid. Whisk quickly to combine.

5. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream and milk mixture. Place it back on the stove over low heat.

6. In a small bowl, dissolve the grated chocolate in a little milk over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

7. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the saucepan with the cream, milk, and egg mixture. Continue whisking until everything is well combined and smooth.

8. In a separate small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and vanilla extract to create a slurry. This will help thicken the ice cream mixture.

9. Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, whisking continuously to prevent any lumps from forming. Cook the mixture over low heat for another 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened.

10. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool completely. You can place it in the refrigerator for a few hours or use an ice bath to speed up the cooling process.

11. Once the mixture is completely chilled, transfer it to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes around 20-30 minutes, but the time may vary depending on your ice cream maker.

12. After churning, the ice cream should be soft and creamy. Transfer it to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
