Chocolate Ginger Ice Cream

Besides my all-time favorite flavor of ice cream, moose tracks, ginger ice cream is probably a close second. It can be a rare find though, so having ginger ice cream is a real treat. I decided it was time to make it even more of a treat by making it chocolatey. It was a good decision. I don't make ice cream very often but I thought this turned out really well and it was easy enough to make.

Step 1 What You Need

Ingredients:

• 8 egg yolks
• 1 cup sugar
