Instructions

In a large saucepan, whisk together the milk, cream, and cocoa powder. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and stir in chopped chocolate and vanilla until melted.
Add 3/4 cup of sugar to the mixture. Return to simmer while stirring until sugar dissolves.
In a medium bowl, whisk remaining sugar with egg yolks until thickened. Gradually mix in warm milk mixture to temper yolks.
Set up an ice bath with ice water in a large bowl and place a fine mesh strainer over it.
Cook the combined mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Strain into the bowl set in ice bath.
Allow custard to cool completely before refrigerating until cold or overnight.
Pour chilled custard into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions until soft-serve consistency is achieved.
