==Ingredients== * 1 cup coffee * 9 oz Trader Joe's 70% Chocolate (half of a Pound Plus Bar) * 1 cup sugar * 1 pinch salt * 1 quart half-n-half * 1 tbsp butter * six eggs, separated; whites for some other use. ==Method== - Grate or chop the chocolate into tiniest pieces. Put in a high-temperature-safe bowl - Nuke 1 cup of the half-n-half until quite hot -- 2.5 minutes for us - Stir the half-n-half into the chocolate to make a smooth ganache. - Put the butter in a saucepan and heat it; swirl to coat. - Put the rest of the half-n-half, the sugar and the salt in the saucepan. Heat until slightly thickened (170F) - Beat the egg yolks until they change color. - Temper the eggs with the cream, whisking continuously. - Add the tempered eggs to the cream to make custard. Turn off the heat. - Temper the ganache with the custard; add the ganache to the custard. - Stir in the coffee. - Pour the ice cream mix into a 9x13 pan. Use another pan underneath to hold it. Place in the freezer for an hour or more. - When mix is chilled, make ice cream in your machine. ====Notes==== Taken from various sources around the net who thought up ganache+custard as ice cream mix.
