Step-by-step
- Combine the milk and cream in a large saucepan. Heat on med-low heat.
- Cut the vanilla bean and scrape seeds. Add the seeds and pod to the cream mixture.
- Simmer the cream mixture over low heat for 30 minutes.
- Remove the pod, rinse it and add it to some plain granulated sugar(to make vanilla sugar)... or discard.
- Combine the sugar,cocoa,eggs and yolks in a medium bowl. Beat on medium until mixture resembles mayonnaise.
- Take out 1 cup of the hot milk/cream mixture. With the mixer on low, add the cup of hot milk/cream to the cocoa mixture. Pour it in a steady stream until incorporated.
- Stir in the chopped chocolate/chips into the saucepan with the hot milk/cream.
- Stir in the egg mixture into the hot milk/cream. Cook over low heat,stirring constantly.
- At this point, the mixture tastes like decandent hot chocolate. I suppose if you don't want to go any further, you can always enjoy a nice hot cup of hot chocolate:).
- Now, seriously, lets get on to the next step. The mixture will thicken and resemble a chocolate pudding(custard).
- Add the Irish Cream/vanilla and transfer to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, directly on the surface of the pudding. Refrigerate and cool completely.
- Pour the cooled/chilled custard into the ice cream maker bowl. Turn on the ice cream maker on let mix until thickened, about 25 minutes.
- Add the nuts and any other additions you like during the last minute or so of the churning process.
