Ice Cream Preparation
  1. Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Heat milk until just steaming. Gradually pour into egg mixture while whisking.
  2. Return the mixture to saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring for 5-7 minutes until custard thickens.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
  4. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Melt chopped dark chocolate with a tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over low heat until smooth.
  6. Pour ice cream mixture into ice cream maker and churn until soft-serve consistency (25-30 minutes).
  7. In the last few minutes of churning, slowly drizzle in melted chocolate to create swirls.
  8. Transfer to an airtight container, smooth the top, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
